So for those of you who haven't heard, Dinnerbone (or Jeb) have decided to pull quivers for the second time after so convincingly saying they were gonna do it. I for one, am infuriated with this hasty decision. Once again quivers have frustratingly slipped through our fingers. But I was curious about what other people think. And, I'm gonna be honest, if enough votes oppose him and his choice, I will tweet him the poll. More natural? MORE NATURAL???? Fumbling around with a bunch of arrows in one hand and a bow in the other is more natural? THAN WHAT? A QUIVER?? I've been an archer for a good number of years. So, you can imagine my anger.
If you agree with his decision, please post why below.

"The amount of arrows held would not change - still a stack, as it has always been - though the bow would prioritize firing arrows in the off-hand before ones stored in the inventory. Having a quiver serve this function was deemed more complicated than necessary, as holding the arrows would take less time than constantly re-arranging them into a quiver, and would provide something of a visual cue on what arrows the player was about to fire, among other things."
I for one think it is a lame excuse since quivers have been included in a mod already. The off hand thing makes no sense to me since you need two hands to shoot a bow (hence the reason for a quiver in the first place). This would mean that no item in the off hand when the bow is selected; it appears Minecraft physics are at play again. You can also carry far more arrows and variety in a quiver so how hard would it be to use a hot key or mouse wheel to select the arrow. The mod has been doing it for some time now.
