I have decided to not update my Minecraft anymore. This is not a protest, I simply am enjoying where it is currently at and will only be disappointed with future updates. If I want to add anything to my game I'm sure I can find a 1.5 mod for it. I will do this until a mod comes out that allows me to disable content in the game.
You don't need to inform the world, just don't update. No one even cares if you update or not, you don't voice 10,000,000 players.

Well good for you, want a medal for denying yourself any future content?

The problem with the truth, is that it never lies.
These things has been going on for years. Horses are no exception.
Pistons were a mod. Similar to horses, the creator assisted Jeb in implementing them. Smooth lighting was a mod. The creator assisted Notch in implementing that into the game as well. Same with the McRegion file format.
Taking into consideration how large the modding community is, it's almost impossible for Mojang to put something in the game that did not exist in modding.
Actually, the only problem I have with horses is that it leaves a completely useless crafting recipe in the game. Now, nobody is going to ride pigs anymore, so no one will bother to craft a carrot on a stick. And same with saddles. They will be pretty useless to, because horses use custom saddles.
Otherwise I am excited for horses
The way things are going, whatever mojang adds currently already has a mod for it.
Yes you are 100% correct that there is a mod for anything mojang could add. But what is the point of making a statement like this? What you're really saying is that, instead of playing the updated game whenever a new release comes out, you want to be stubborn and stay on 1.5 because you happen to not like the new features? Are you by any chance a tekkit player? Because this sentiment rings a bell.
I can't believe you would deny yourself new features out of stubbornness. That's all this is.

Correct. There are literally thousands of mods out there. And a mod is exactly that, an enhancement to a game by a third party.
To the complainers, keep this in mind: Mojang is a small team, working on ALL of the aspects of the game. This includes the launcher, and the mod API (please don't even start arguing about if or when the API will be released, that's not the point) where-as mod makers only have their little mod/plugin to focus on.
I feel that the game is getting too complicated. Something about the old style felt more, i dont know, more relaxing and calming. i also think that if you keep updating it, allow us JAVA 5 users to KEEP PLAYING!!!
They've already mentioned they are trying to implement a workaround for people with older PC's/software like java. Be that as it may, there will come a time when a certain group of players will not be able to play unless they upgrade their rig. This is in the interest of moving forward.
I challenge anyone to give me a real good reason as to why they should not add horses. If you choose to take me up on this, please exclude your feelings and opinions from the matter. Present facts. Present data whereby you have taken the greater community into consideration, not just yourself.

All I ever see in your posts is negative or complaining. I feel like your the type if someone would give you a car youd complain it was the wrong type but if they then switched it to what type you wanted, suddenly it would be the wrong color. If its that bad dont come to the forums and simply stay to yourself.
Okay. From what I can gather, you think horses will be generic and will just be a replacement for pigs. That's like saying this glass of water is too generic, we really need a bottle of water instead. They have different pros and cons, and are unique in their different ways, but are similar at the same time, e.g they both hold water. If you cannot accept both of them, you have no place in society. Please leave.

Yes, 1.5 will become my home. I am not a tekkit player.

That cuts both ways. Anything added can be modded OUT of the game too. So it comes down to numbers... are more people going to enjoy the feature than dislike it?
I'm not always on the winning side of this debate either. I full expect myself to mod to get rid of all the zombie spawning zombies crap. Perhaps you can run a no-horse server?
Was somebody actually riding pigs for the benefits and not just because?
That's a very good question. I personally never used pigs for any practical reason, mostly just for fun. We built a racetrack on my server and had a few pig races but even that became boring after a while. I agree pigs were fun before horses were added purely because of the novelty of it, however horses are way more useful and practical.

At the end of the day you are more than entitled to your own preferences. We are all unique and so is minecraft, so we can all build up a version of the game that we find enjoyable and stick with that. I get that.
It's just a little hard for me to understand. It's like, someone approaches you on the street and says "Here's 50 dollars" and you say "No thanks I already have my 20 dollars that I got a while ago" I know it's a terrible analogy to use but the idea is there. You are given a better product to use, but you don't want it.

Jyrome, I've only read the first page. However, not ONE person I noticed who had posted here sided with you.
No, there are no two groups. They're you and everyone else.
What is wrong with you? Are you some sort of sadist that enjoys a person being hated for having a different opinion? 90% of your posts that I see include some sort of insult or degrading of another person, and I'm sick of you bashing people for just having an idea different from your own.

I really doubt anybody ever rode pigs for Serious reasons.

I really don't understand how he can do anything about that.
