See, this is what I don't get. You say this all the time, but in THIS very update, it has nothing to do with being a supporter. Yes, we do things for supporters but we also do a lot more that isn't supporter.
No sir. With all due respect: Ender-Dragons (of which there is only one in vanilla) is located only in The End, a place you must search very hard in vanilla to find. If you want to fight Minecraft's first boss, you have to set out with the intent to do so, rebuild the End Portals, etc. Wither is constructed, as you well know. If you want to fight a wither, you have to hunt down the wither heads to create one. Again, no small amount of effort. If Mojang does add a mob or something I dislike, I have the option to put it on Peaceful mode Mojang gives us warning. Successive snapshots and preview videos are always forthcoming, the development is open and visible to all. They don't hide stuff behind Oz's green curtain and say "Surprise! NOW YOU ALL DIE!" and then laugh about it when their players object. Seriously, are you trying to troll us now?
I wasn't saying that this necessarily benefited supporters. I guess that's where all the confusion is. I was saying that the two updates I ever see are for supporters or for making money. This one falls under the making money part because people are going out and killing these things and auctioning off the items. What you quoted was me defending myself because I felt like you were calling me out for something in the last post.
When he said "We need an Endermen only world. We need a horse only world. We need a wither only world.", I'm fairly sure he was being sarcastic...... I could be wrong.
Economy will always be a part of EMC. People can nearly just sell everything and that'll always be around in some fashion. However, please reply to this post with some ideas that you have that wouldn't fall under updates that you dislike. Give us specific things that you have in mind and we can talk about them and how they might work out with EMC. We can't really do a lot with people saying "we don't like this" but not give us things that they would like.
A wither only world would ruin the empire and economy IMO. People work HARD to get wither skulls and beacons and sell it. I REALLY hope you are being sarcastic. Empire is suppose to be legit.
I think like a few people before me said, this should be in the Dystopia server. Sure, I know you can't move all of this hard work to an un-existent server at a whim's notice, but slowly we should move this to the Dystopia server. It's not that I don't like all of this, in fact I really like it. I would certainly play the Dystopia server, but other people wouldn't like all of these deadly monsters and stuff on the SMP servers.
I like the update very much and here are my reasons for this. I haven't been playing on emc much I haven't really been having fun on the servers but yesterday I actually felt joy on emc again when I saw that the new normal mode update was coming. Now I want to come on emc to go out and adventure in the wild/frontier whatever, I want to collect the new items, fight the new mobs, and most of all feel a sense of challenge on emc again. That's why I am enjoying this new update not for the economic part of it but for the adventure part.
While this update for sure has economic impact - its a good thing, as the there isnt much high value items. But the main point of this update was thrill and advanture. You're mining... And all of a sudden you see the ground shakes message. You know momentus just spawned near you. You now have the chance to get rare loot. You now have a challenging fight -- something minecraft doesn't usually provide much of. You get to feel like the strong armor you've purchased or acquired from enchanting or rare drops is useful... Or on a smaller scale, simply finding an Enraged monster knowing that specific monster will give you better loot than the normal one beside it. Gogo extra rupee bonus. You get ego points also for running around in full set of rare spawn drops. Theres tons of benefits here, that adds more excitement into the wild. It's all about options. This is the direction Mojang is taking Minecraft - not just us. Horses are EXTREMELY different ball game - the stuff we did with this update is nothing in comparison to the change in balance 1.6 is bringing... Mojang themselves is making the wild harder in 1.6, consider this a getting warmed up course
Yay! My idea has spreaded into the minds of people of are contagious and will spreaded the disease! My goal is complete!
