First of all if you hate Wolves so much don't tame one. Second of all in order to fix there bad pathfinding they teleport to you so that's not a problem.

i like wolves but... i dont like taming them anymore because i dont want them to die lol. if i was mining with my wolf or wolves it would kill me to see one of them fall down a deep mine shaft and die. so once i realized this i had about 6 wolves. i suffocated them all to end it. i cried
Really? I found beating all of mine to death with a shovel while yelling "bad doggie!" extremely therapeutic.
Here's what I think...Wolves are a good idea that still needs work done on it to make them better. One thing is that the pathfinding needs to be better so you dont need to make ugly holes in ur base for them to follow you in. Another thing is they need better AI. ex stop getting in the way of building and when you are working high up for them not to teleport onto building roofs (i spawn on the roof of my house and my dogs teleported there) and lastly they should be able to be left in a fenced in area for example and just run around in there, that would also give another use for the fence... IK alot of this isnt practical but just my 2 cents
OP said he believe the core of the game to be exploration and building, but that is only sorta of true because the core of the game is supposed to be Surival hence the title survival mode. Having pets that will attack what u attack and defend u fits overwhelmingly perfect into the core of this game.

I also must abandon this thread as one where reason and reading have simply vanished. See the two or three posts above mine on this page. The OP asserted precisely that wolves requiring more work and dev time was the problem, not that they were a bad idea.
Abandon ship, ye rationals. You shall find no good arguments here!

You sir are the one who needs to read and be rational. OP says he urges the devs to drop wolves completely. How is that the equivalent of them requiring work over them being a bad idea?

In other words, I believe that in adding Wolves to the game, you've put yourself on a development slippery slope. You've basically committed yourself to spending a huge amount of development time on a feature that is entirely secondary to your core gameplay experience, and features that are unlikely to be reusable in the rest of the game.
So Notch, I urge you to drop wolves completely, or at least cut your lossess now and leave them in the state they are. There are far more important features that would be great to have in the game, and in working on wolves, you're sacrificing those other features for something that is of little relevance to Minecraft.
Also, please see my posts in response to FlowerChild, and FlowerChild's clarifying posts subsequently in the thread body.
Short of highlighting the OP and subsequent posts, I don't see how I can make this any clearer.
I'm okay with them. I use them anyways. If they get stuck I just walk away and they teleport to me. If they accidentally die I just get another. I don't use them too much so I don't mind if they die. It would be cool to see that they would be aggressive at night though. Notch can always fix wolves having bad coordination. So yeah I just skimmed through sentences and got the basic idea. Couldn't bother reading so much seeing that even the title is false. I mean I have been waiting for another mob that could actually attack. Feel happy! (Unfortunately you have to attack it to make it attack you).

I already know enough to say no about it being a bad idea. Every time there is a new mob I go crazy over it!
I think the OP's argument is one that is destined to be replayed endlessly whenever a new feature is developed.
Some people like the new feature. Others don't.
The people that like the new feature are happy to see more development time spent on it. The others would prefer is was spent on something else.
Essentially the OP's argument requires the value judgement that their opinion about the feature s/he doesn't want developed carries more weight than the people who would like to see it developed.
The sub-argument that that any feature added requires more work to get it right is also pretty tricky. Just about every feature we've seen (eg biomes, minecarts, the nether, squid, etc, etc, ad nauseam) could be developed further. And there are plenty of mods that have done this.
Wolves arent a bad idea, its that notch needs to freaking smarten them up.
i had the same freaking problem. went in to a mine / super huge cavern with lavva pits wolf jump right into one. :sleep.gif:
i made him sit in the bed i made for him. YET when i went out to go get some coal i turned arouned and he was sitting right there.... other than that wolfs are great.
If you dont like it uninstall the game, spaming the forums with your **** wont change anything kid.

I'm not trolling. It's when people spazz out over stupid little things that they have an option to ignore, I lose my patience.
