I really hate when I introduce a good friend to Minecraft and then all they do is get together with their friends, go on creative mode, place a whole bunch of dynamite down and just blow it up repeatidly. They don't even TRY survival mode, that's what really grinds my gears. Survival mode was what everybody did their first time playing, it was epic, fun, it was the best part of the game. But then my friends introduce their friends to Minecraft, then those friends introduce their friends to Minecraft, and they all say "Do creative mode only" or something like that. Seriously, I only have three friends who started out with survival and ask me questions like, "What do I do with iron?" and that makes me feel happy that they're actually playing a game, not throwing scattered TNT around the world, having people crowd around them and exploding it all.
My first time playing I jumped in the trees, their first time playing they spend time figuring out how to fly, and they don't even know what any of the items do because of this. It's pretty much ruining their experience with Minecraft...even worse than building a bed your first night.
TNT is not what Minecraft is about, but then again I guess Minecraft has been destroyed anyways. Try finding a seed with a flat area even relatively large...you won't. The only place I can build is in a desert, all the rest are infested with trees, water, underground caves, or grass.
What also annoys me is that they don't even buy the game, they just play on a sight that gives Minecraft for free and averages around five frames per second. Like seriously...has the generation of Minecraft been ruinied? Did this new update with Minecraft's creative mode ruin the face of Minecraft? Will flat worlds be lost forever?
See, look, now I've ended up ranting about the update, but now that I'm on the topic I mayswell let my thoughts out about it.
I'm not saying "Dragons" and "Enderpearls" and "End Portals" aren't a big addition or a big update, I'm just saying that it's highly unecessary and we would be fine without it. The only thing 1.0.0 has done for us is taken a crap on our nature. Tell me what's nice about the update..swamp biomes? Mushroom cows? New Nether monsters? Music disks...? All this is unecessary, I think they're just hauling out random crap updates so that they can say they did something, the game was complete at 1.7.
"The Adventure" update they call it, Minecraft is already an adventure, an adventure to find a decent house and ultimately find diamonds and kill monsters. Well, this update sucks, it's getting to me, I can't even play Minecraft anymore because of it's crap factor.
Don't bother telling me this is in the wrong section for all you spammers out there, I'm already aware, you don't need to try to boost your post count.
