Common sense tells me that they know the system isn't perfect yet because it was just implemented. Common sense tells me new features like the temperature system need to mature, going through several changes in order to become perfected.
The fact that you say few people complain about the world gen indicates you don't read much of the forums. It's one of the most complained about features in 1.7.4. Naturally we expect some to agree and others to disagree, but you do have in the 1.7.4 a contentious issue that has been addressed several times directly to the developers on reddit and tweet, not just these forums.
Even some of those liking the system, agree it needs tweaking. One of the aspects that got a few complaints is that rivers seem to be the only option separating different temperature biomes. There's a smooth transition between equal temperature biomes, but there is no such thing between different ones. This could be bettered in future versions.
Thinking that Mojang isn't going to fix the world generator isn't common sense, my friend. That is precisely the one game feaure that suffered the most changes in the game history. It is being constantly refined, bettered, made worse, made better again and changed. No other game feature has gone through so many updates. And they will keep rolling in. Make no mistake.
I know it needs to be fixed, I don't like it either. There has been many updates that disappoint people but mojang never does anything to fix it.
In summary your first post suggested moving to another area to find resources that aren't near your spawn. If you would have read the thread you would have realized that on severs, since the owners don't have unlimited computing potential they have to limit the size of their worlds, which can leave them without key resources due to the size of the biomes.
I run a server, never having any problem with resources, or running potential. Its fully survival and people can go pretty far out to several biomes which provide everything they need. People will trade with each other, there is no shops, no plugins to help them out, and the map is randomly generated.
You're not interested in having a conversation, only forcing your own opinion on everyone. You have yet to even acknowledge a single point I and others have made, which makes me wonder if you even read past the thread's title.
I have read it, and I replied to it several times, but I just got trampled. I threw out my opinion on what you should do, and I got a sarcastic comment back, then another from you.
Oh really? I wish I go such important inside information from Mojang. You must be high up in Jeb's list of people to trust with new secret information no one else knows about. Congratulations.
/sarcasm
Have you heard of an idea that had a few supporters, and it caught mojangs attention? They are not gonna change something that others like, but some people don't like either.
You guys are arguing over something stupid, I don't like the new biomes but you can still find ENOUGH resources in one area. If you need to go out and find something, thats the whole POINT of the game. You survive, look for stuff you need, and do whatever you want. In real life you don't have all the resources next to each other, they are SPREAD out. Your acting like you want the resources HANDED to you..
If you don't like the new biomes stop complaining about it because mojang isnt going to fix it, they are a big company now and they get about 1 million complaints a day. Downgrade your minecraft, and play it when it WAS good.
I also run minecraft on a old computer, but i usually get 50-70 fps. If you make sure that a lot of junk (even little things) are removed from your computer, then it should work fine. I have a backup computer, which is pretty new but that is used for some serious gaming.
First time playing actual minecraft was in 2010, I didnt know much about the game or how to place blocks! I just went into inv and grabbed whatever not knowing how to place I mashed my keyboard and mouse. I looked at mc I found out I placed a block so I started mashing more and made a 2x2 house consisting of bricks, cobweb, and 1 tnt. And how did I die for the first time well,I went off that world joined a server in a gaming cafe and lets just say who knew minecraft had physics when it comes to certain blocks.
Well then.. what did you think the sand or gravel would do? xD
Minecraft Name: jeffasmeee Applicant Age: 15, 16 in 30 days Experience (1-10): 8 out of 10, and that's being modest, it would be higher if I knew more about red stone. But I am a great modern building designer and builder, and I've planned plenty of cities, towns and maps. Brief summary about you: Well, I'm 15, I am aspiring to be an architect and have gained an A in Graphic Design (architecture) For my modern design of a building influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright. I am admin on 3 other servers, that level was earned because they all thought my builds were amazing. I build for the pleasure of making other people happy, and the thought of people looking at it and seeing that little sign that says "designed by jeffasmeee". I like that. I just do, it makes me feel like I'm leaving my mark. Photos/Videos of previous work: Right, how do I upload this pictures? Like seriously? How? I can send them to you on skype if you want but I don't know how to upload them.

It would be nice if you could be realistic, and have an actual conversation with someone, other than treating them like they are stupid.

No need for sarcasm here, its common sense.
