I was reading through the "fixes" in 1.6 and came across a note saying that you removed the feature where you could elevate yourself to the top of any water source by using a boat. What was not removed, however is that you can hold the space bar to rise to the top of any water source while on foot. This means that you've effectively made elevators 20x slower. Why? Please, Notch. If you start making Minecraft "realistic" I'm going to have to stop patching. Even though it wasn't physically accurate it was an amazing and useful characteristic of Minecraft, have you ever heard anyone complaining about it?
On a not-entirely related note, an elevator system would be cool.
hopefully notch is thinking about a proper elavator system, as using water was a bit ridiculous, but it was still useful
Well, technically any type of elevator system would be neat but kind of useless. They could easily be replaced by ladders, however Water Elevators were easy to place and generally awesome. Those points aside, creating some crazy 4x4 elevator in a massive building would be absolutely amazing.
Also read the link in my sig.. It says don't address suggestions to people, I.E. Notch.
It doesn't have to be a bug. Notch simply coded it and decided he didn't like it, don't tell me you think it went under his nose the whole time? Well I liked it, a lot of people liked it. No reason to take it out.
Addressing your signature... I really don't care, it was an open letter of sorts but if I really wanted to I could take out Notch's name and simply put that I think that particular "fix" should be reversed-- but why? It's the exact same message written to appease the standards of some random member that I've never even heard of before.

I'm simply pointing out that it wasn't removed entirely, just nerfed which is pointless.
