Dude, I feel your pain. You make a rather reasonable and respectful topic post. Instead of reasonable and respectful responses, you responses like "Ignore it". I can understand that people can't understand the inability to ignore something. You don't need to understand a problem to understand that somebody has it. You don't need to be a smoker to accept that quitting is hard. An addicted smoker doesn't choose to smoke, they have to or they will feel horrid. Maybe that will help people accept your problem.
Stats don't bother me but I am OCD and have depression so I understand these things better than some. This problem ruins the game for you, but it makes the game somewhat better for some. Ruining a game is a bigger deal in my belief.

There's a data file for stats, why don't you just figure out how to modify it, and max all the stats? Better yet, just revert your game back to an earlier patch. You can obviously live
without any of the extras brought by the 1.5 patch. Problem solved.
Did you bother to read the whole thread? Or maybe the first 2-3 pages? Probably not, because he said, multiple times, that he IS playing on an earlier patch now, and that he is an amateur Java Coder, but modifying all the files of Minecraft, and making it so that stats are off, is not a piece of cake. Because he is a stranger to all the files, whilst Notch knows them better, so could do it much and much easier.
Then, even though if he's playing on an earlier patch, who doesn't want the weather, the rain, the lighting and the new saplings? It's awesome, and he would like to play with those features.
I may sound stupid, but I get really ticked off by them, and it's not even funny anymore.

Fair enough, I did not see his message stating that he had reverted back to an earlier patch, I apologize. It's just too much effort sometimes to scroll through pages' worth of text seeing the same thing over and over again.
That being said, if he has in fact reverted back, and this no longer affects him, what is the problem? Apparently the new features aren't enough to overlook the flaw (stats) that comes with it.
As far as Java coding, I don't know the first thing about it, so I'm far from qualified to speak on the subject of actually changing the code to disable stats.
I'm sorry, I just can't wrap my head around the idea of stats being so annoying that you cannot stop yourself from simply never checking the page. Lol, I am glad I don't have this problem. Again, I agree that they shouldn't be there in the first place though.
I seriously don't understand why anyone would care. If you don't like stats, don't look at them. If you "can't" ignore them, go see a doctor. No one cares.
I'm entitled to my own opinion, as you said, and this is it.
Ignore the stats. Sure, you can say I disregarded the OP, but no, I did not. I see no reason as to why you can not simply pretend that the stats aren't there, that you never knew they existed. I know I'm breaking all the questions you didn't want, but you said you had your opinion, so do I. Oh, people can see your stats? Are you afraid we are watching you, monitoring you? Paranoid schizophrenia. Care so much about your stats? OCD.
Yes actually. I am OCD and that is why I cannot ignore it, which was also stated in the OP. Pay attention please before making yourself look like an ignorant fool again. Oh, and just for future reference, "Why can't you ignore them?" is a question, not an opinion. Notice, I am not being mean because he disagrees with me, but because he did not even read and comprehend the OP before posting something that was clearly answered there, and to top it off, he was asking it in a very rude way.

Thank you very much, it is nice to know I am not alone. Oh, and I pick up the drops too, sometimes hopping off my tower into the ocean for a 10 block down ocean floor drop that accidently went down there...

Lol, this thread is ridiculous. -snip-
Try to understand that yes, my OCD is ridiculous. I know this. I was wondering if anyone had the same problem. People may post if they disagree or agree, that is fine. Now, here is where you need to pay attention, because I do not like repeating myself, which I have had to do so much on this thread it is not funny. I treat those people like "Children" when they act like it. If they have flagarantly disregarded the OP and asked something I have answered there then yes, it is annoying. Now, if the disagree or agree has no affect on this. It is really simple, if someone disrespects me, I shall lose my respect for them. I am never a name caller or childish about it, I simply point out their err and go on with my life. You agree with me to an extent, and I have still lost respect for you, because you have neglected to actually pay attention to the clear cause of why I lose my respect for them and posted in a very condescending manner. You told me I was being childish as well, which is something I am very sick of hearing because it is simply not true. Prove it or don't say it alright.

Alright, I can be fine with the fact you missed I am playing on an earlier version (1.3_01 to be exact) as it is not in the OP, which is all I would ask people read before posting here, reading the whole thread would be an insane thing to ask. Now, wrap your head around the fact that it is not as simple for you as other people and that maybe I like rain and thunder and snow and lightning and maps and all those nice new things that come with 1.5, and the stats are ruining that for me. See, there is where my "Problem" lies, but this thread is not about my "problem", at least, it was not at first. I asked what other people thought of them, but people only wished to pick at my problem to no end. The first OP here was actually a simple. "I hate having my stats being kept track of and sent online. It bothers me a lot. Anyone feel the same way? Do you like stats? Do you love them? Do you hate them? Post your opinion here!" and look what it had to become. Everyone just wants to attack a problem like a virus. Nobody could leave a guy alone. Now, here we are, you attacking my "problem" and ignoring that the OP is about how you feel about stats, not how I feel.

What about something simple, such as after every time you play, go into the .Minecraft folder and delete the stats folder entirely?
It would be fresh every time you start, and there would be no need to check stats.
It gets annoying, and they get sent online anyway, just reset often making me look like a novice every time. Oh, and don't double post, it is against the rules.
I am so confused right now. People are arguing about a feature in a game that they bought themselves. This is what you agreed to pay for - UPDATES. To say having stats make the game any worse than it already is, is a ridiculous statement.
You don't have to look at them, 'improve' upon them, or talk about them.
If you don't like the statistics, that's your problem, not Notch's, not mine, or anyone else's.
Just deal with it. That's all there is to it.
(And it's not like Notch will do anything in response to your complaints, so you all might as well give up and stop flaming each other. 'Nuff said.)
Alright, arguing with the topic creator is an exercise in futility. This guy just twists your words around.
You obviously have a problem, that you seem to need some serious help with. I am OCD to an extent, but
there is a difference with being OCD, and just not being able to control yourself, in which case you need
to go and take some medication for that.
There have been a lot of people flaming you, or simply saying "deal with it" and I can understand you getting
upset at them, but I've stated solutions to your "problem" and I've read other intelligent posts giving you
real feedback and watched you pick them apart, as well as myself. It's at this point that we just shrug our
shoulders.
You have a weird problem, and you are very nearly alone in this regard, in terms of Minecraft stats and
achievements. You've disregarded any real feedback, feedback you asked for. It's too bad you will be stuck
with your older versions of Minecraft while all of us can stomach a bit of annoyance for the updated game.
Oh, and I will double-post if I feel like adding an extra post. That extra post was trying to help you with a solution to
your problem. Are you really criticizing me for that?
You strike me as a very anal, stubborn person, and it becomes more and more apparent why you are having issues with such a small detail in this game.
Oh, and this is the internet btw. Put the cyber-hand cuffs away. Double-posting isn't hurting anyone.

Show me a single post that had good points and did not break my rules and then show me picking them apart. No, really, do it. You do that and then you can talk to me. Oh, and I was making sure you knew it was against the rules. I would not want you to get in trouble. You strike me as the kind of guy who wants to argue over nothing and makes a habit of trying to **** people off. You only do it on the internet because you do not have the guts to start fights in real life though. You pretend to be using intelligence while blatantly ignoring what is being said to you, such as, this thread is about your opinion not my problem. So let's see here, you posted more about my problem. Hmmmm..... Ignorant much? Let's hear more about your opinion and less about all your incorrect accusations and more about the topic shall we?
Also, you have mentioned achievements twice now. It was in passing so no big deal but ehm, this topic is not about achievements.

Lol, this is the internet, there is no opportunity to start a fight in person with you. A fight over this topic is pretty childish as well. Stop being an internet tough guy.
And this notion that we have to adhere to your "rules" before posting something replying to your topic just reeks of you being an absolute control freak. Really now, we can reply, just as long as we don't say ANYTHING to offend you whatsoever? That doesn't tell you that you need some help?
So, we have identified that you are a control freak, and need help. Anything else?
Exactly. Your post should not offend me. Why would it? I asked your opinion on stats, agree or disagree and I am not offended. You decided to come on and immediately start a fight and you have no evidence to back your claims. Still waiting on the quote where I pick apart someone because they disagreed with me and not because they did not follow my rules there buddy. The fact that you are double posting so much proves you are here for post count, or to just **** me off, either way it is immature. Grow a pair and get of my thread kid. I am sick of having to argue with people like you on a thread that is for opinions. You did not post an opinion by the way, you posted an argument.

Explain to me why we should have to follow your rules...
What's the point of asking for opinions if you are going to set guidelines on peoples' opinions?
Do you really need that much control? Hmm, then again, the problem you are having with Minecraft would lead me to believe you do.
And yes, the double-posting is strictly to **** you off, seeing as how you mentioned it even when I was trying to help you.
I don't care about my account here, this does nothing for my Minecraft. It's just a forum. Post count? Please, check how few posts I even have. I couldn't care less.

Mod edit: User warned for double post
Edit: I updated the OP for people like yourself.
Who knows, maybe more people will speak out against stats, and Notch will not make it a mandatory thing.
That would appease players such as yourself.
The problem is that Notch might not care if it's a small minority of the Minecraft community.
But honestly, it wouldn't be a difficult thing for him to do....
