I have been visiting the 1.9 section to see what people have been saying about the potions and enchanting, and people are getting upset at it. Many don't like how enchanting appears to work, and others don't like the RPG aspects, and how it takes away from the sandbox game.
Now lets look at a list of truths:
1. No one is making you play with enchantments or potions.
2. There is a sandbox mode. Use it
3. We don't know how enchanting is going to work yet, so don't ***** about how it looks like it will work
4. Notch and his team are working on a game worth millions, I bet they aren't just throwing random ideas around and hoping that they work.
Please do not flame, if you don't like enchanting, go play garrys mod.

Yes, it is a place to express one's opinion. However, when one touts their opinion as fact, then they deserve to be called out on it and evidence should be demanded. Why should a forum board be any different than a court in this regard? If you make a claim, back it up or admit that it is your opinion. You have expressed your opinion as fact and therefore I have called you on it. You didn't like that my view was different than your own, so you proceed to insult me and make lame attempts to throw out red herring arguments.
Deliberately attempting to skew my point to add strength to your own argument? I see how this works.
Anyway, what I was saying is that it is only common sense to expect someone who makes a claim to back it up with evidence. No one on any side of this argument has done so, least of all Notch. However, idiots like you defend him in spite of the fact that there is a glaring lack of evidence, making your opinions on the matter your opinions. Nothing more. No amount of aggrandizement by bringing red herrings and straw mans, nor insulting those who do not buy into the ******** will change that. Again, you have zero evidence that any of Notch's claims are true, so that by definition makes your personal judgment a biased opinion. You cannot escape that fact.
*cough*strawman*cough*
Circular logic? Okay, I guess I can pardon that so long as you know it's an intellectual fallacy.
And pray tell, exactly what is it that I have said that is ********? Or is it the fact that you simply don't like what I have to say?

I am glad I am not on trial for murder with a jury made up of those assholes.

Alright, so condemning Notch for his childishness automatically means I am absolving Yogscast of any possible wrong-doing on a separate issue? Okay, got it. Thanks for making it clear for me.
It's abso-****ing-lutely baffling to me that people honestly think that blame in an incident has to be completely one-sided. I got news for everyone who thinks this way. The world isn't binary. It's not the sort of place where just because one person is wrong, then the other person is by definition right. Both sides in a dispute can make mistakes at any point in that dispute. Notch has plainly done this, as his tweets are evidence of. We are however still awaiting word on Yogscast's role in this mess.

Several very childish errors which in all likelihood would have been avoided if he hadn't made that first one. Notch is solely responsible for this blowing up like it has.
Now whether or not his allegations are true remains to be seen.

Ignoring the rest of the post to not go off-topic.
This line though is essentially correct, however, it could be more correctly worded as "the internet made Minecraft what it is today". Mainly, the ability to distribute the software without expensive packaging and the tons of free advertisement that forums, Youtube and other social media provides. Without the state of the internet today, Notch would not be a millionaire.

This is a quality mod. The map is very good and has some very well thought-out features (such as the load delay). The way it even takes structures into account (unlike Notch's maps) and the lighting are also very nice. My issue is NOT with the mod or its features. With or without the mob radar and cave mapping it is a nice, simple, quality mod.
My issue is with the behavior of Rei through this. An immature asshat got under his skin and Rei is allowing this to continue to affect the rest of the community. It is entirely within his power to end the issue, one way or the other, yet he doesn't do so. That is my issue with this whole thing.
Yes, I come off as a blunt asshole. That is who I am. I call things as I see them and I do not mince words. In my experience, nothing gets accomplished when people do that. If this pisses anyone off, well, they're going to do what they are going to do and there is nothing I can do to change that, just like there's nothing they can do to change how I act.

Okay then. I give an unpopular, though honest, opinion and get insulted for it. Like THAT is mature.
Look, I'm blunt. I have always been blunt and I will always be blunt. If you or anyone else doesn't like it, guess what, there's ignore.
Also, point out where I started by calling someone a name. You can't because I didn't. You made it up.
Wait, what? What the **** is this? I was told to give my opinion to a specific matter, Marik didn't like my opinion and began backpedaling. How the **** is this demanding an answer and threatening to cry? You are delusional.
No, you won't because it isn't the case.

This is a public forum. That alone gives me the right to make my opinion known. I gave my opinion on way Rei should have handled n3wton, nothing more.
Also, you're the one who asked me what he should do. I answered. Just because you don't like the answer doesn't give you the right to suddenly take back the question.
That's actually my point. Not everyone is going to be happy. There's no sense in Rei being wishy-washy on the issue since the damage is already done. He needs to make a firm decision one way or the other on whether or not to re-implement those features of the mod and face the fact that no matter what he decides, not everyone is going to be happy.
Also, trying to insult my intelligence by implying I live in a fantasy world is pathetic. Period.
Funny, I seem to recall you asking for it. All my sig does is give fair warning. You should have considered yourself warned before you suddenly became hostile.
No, he actually didn't. He removed the parts of the mod a minority were complaining about. He caved to a bunch of immature posters and in so doing, became one himself.
Your opinion of me, quite frankly, doesn't matter. I read through this and decided to give Rei a dose of maturity. You look like you could use the same.
Don't bother replying? Why? Afraid of the can of worms you just opened? If you really don't want to what I have to say, there is an ignore button. Use it.
Here's a tip; When you ask someone for their opinion, be prepared for one you might not like. Also, this is a public forum, by reading or posting here, you open yourself up to views that may be contrary to your own. If you don't like it, then you don't have to come here.

Actually, it doesn't matter what he does now. It will not change the fact that n3wton won and Rei let him win.
Rei needs a slap in the face with reality. He was a big baby about the whole thing and denied the community a useful aspect of his mod because he decided to act like a child and throw a tantrum. The more he lets this situation persist, the more in the wrong he becomes, especially since he is stringing along a lot of people who want the radar and mapping back. It is reaching a point now where n3wton takes a lesser share of the blame in this than Rei himself does.
If I am leaning toward anything that Rei should do, it would be to make a final decision on whether or not to re-implement the contested features and let the community know. No matter what decision he comes to, he will make people mad, but that's the price he pays for letting n3wton get to him in the first place. Rei needs to grow a set of balls and make that decision.

No, I see things from your perspective. I see things from your perspective all the time. I live in a town where everyone sees from your perspective. I actually can't get away from it.
Your perspective is "me, me, me". You whine and ***** and complain because one little thing isn't going your way. You know what? Life doesn't work that way.
So you don't like the way Notch and Jeb write the game. Guess what, I suggested a much better solution than pissing in the forums earlier in the thread, specifically to you, that you never addressed.
No, I understand perfectly that they are viable options. There is always some give and take. I don't like the fog, but I like everything else a lot better. A lot of people don't like the villagers that are coming, so they aren't going to visit villages. Everyone has to give something in exchange for what they like. Why are you any different? I wasn't aware you were so ****ing special.
Really? You could have fooled me with all your talk of playing on different modes and rolling back aren't options.
Actually, it is a perfectly viable option if you have refused to take any of the other options available to you, which by your own admission, is exactly what you did. You refuse to play in creative, you refuse to play in peaceful, you refuse to play in 1.7.3 and you refuse to mod. What else is there? You aren't enjoying the game, so...you took the only logical step and that is to move on to something else.
Also, this statement screams "entitlement attitude", and I am quoting it again so there is no confusion...
Okay, so let's talk about you, since this is the crux of the statement. Guess what? You didn't buy 3.5 million copies of Minecraft. You are not on the development team. You refuse to play creative/peaceful/1.7.3. You refuse to mod.
There is no ****ing reason why Notch and Jeb should have to cater everything to your liking.
