Those things may be true, but that doesn't mean Survival is any more interesting. Which is the problem. Survival has barely changed since around beta 1.8 came out, When they added Hunger, XP, enchanting, Endermen, and whatever else. The biggest additions I've noticed, are bosses, which don't even effect core gameplay, it just adds stuff to do after you play the normal game for ages, and the 'normal game' has barely changed. By now, at least to me, Survival is feeling a bit dated and boring. I can go back to early Alpha versions, and the core gameplay is exactly the same. Survival needs more 'survival'. Survival currently, feels like a long winded way to build things, and some people, myself included, aren't that into building. Some of us prefer the idea of SURVIVAL. Collecting resources to build a base, then collecting things to make better armor/tools/weapons to defend yourself and get even better stuff. But all of that, has been almost exactly the same for way too long. No new tool/armor sets, barely any new overworld mobs. The nether is still useless unless you're into Potion Making or need Quartz for building.
I understand there's mods to take care of some of my issues, but I hate the fact that I'm forced to rely on mods, to keep Survival interesting, when Mojang could make it interesting themselves, if they'd just try to work on it. Instead, they want to add map maker things, and aesthetic blocks, and whatever else. When's the last time Redstone got any new big features? Last time we got a new USEFUL ore? We've never gotten a new set of tools/armor. Bows have barely changed. There's so many existing things that could be done better that they could work on, rather than adding new things, or ignoring survival completely.
The main question is how much of that survival stuff do you really need. If there was a new ore, set of armor, tier of tools, what would it do for survival except add another layer of materials to achieve?
New redstone stuff? 1.5 had many new features (it was the redstone update), and 1.6-1.8 snapshots got many smaller things.
The last few updates and snapshots have had many new survival features more than just tweaks and aesthetic.
Yes the core gameplay is the same, because it is the same game as it was back in alpha, except with many more features.
And if you don't like building, why do you play Minecraft? the game about building from the beginning.

The game is about building, but the whole point of Survival mode, is Survival. Otherwise they wouldn't put hostile mobs and weapons and hunger.
As for how much of that I "need". I don't NEED any of it, but it would be nice to give me more to do. You make it sound like I don't need more ores and whatever, but I don't need more flowers and types of stone either, but yet those get added. And the last few snapshots didn't really have new survival features, so much as slight modifications that didn't change anything. When Is say survival changes, I don't mean adding new types of doors and things. I mean actual game-changing changes. Like the way Hunger and Enchanting changed MC.
I get that it's the same game it always was, but that's the problem. It feels old. It feels like the same old game as ever. It needs something to make it feel new again. Make it feel interesting. That's why I suggested, new ores, mobs, mini bosses. New stuff to do in the nether. etc.
Not everyone's going to be with me, that's fine. Some people don't even play survival and just play the game likes it's prettier legos. But personally, I think the game needs bigger changes to survival to keep it interesting. It might come from the fact that I play tons of fallout and skyrim, so I get used to have interesting characters, tons of different weapons/clothing, interesting locations, etc.
I would just use mods, but I don't think I should be forced to use them as I said. And even then, I can't find any good mods that I like, that make the game closer to something like Fallout/Skyrim.
I agree survival is getting boring.
Back in the day notch said he was going to make it so that torches wouldnt last forever so you would need like lamps and you would need to refuel the torches or something but it seems as though it wasn't added and also where are my volcanos???? Notch you said u gnna add tem but no aasfadindvdoabvasbvobabovai . I'm sad. (My emoticon says it all) (angry but Sad but also greatful because the only thing that was added in this AMazing snapshot was iron doors. now i can make volcanos with iron doors. . I would also like earthquakes to be in survival. maybe they could add a hard survival mode maybe?
I REALLY love the new feature to have maps have their own resource pack. There is this guy named WolfieMario who made a resource pack with over 2000 icons in it. He explains everything in the post. Now, we can have those icons in vanilla.

I can't speak for anyone else, but unless it's made so that we can report bugs either from within Minecraft / the Minecraft launcher (without ever opening a web browser), OR made so that we can report bugs without signing in to any accounts at all, I suspect that most people who experience a bug will simply ignore it, because it's such a hassle to report a bug, and let's be honest, everyone already has too many online accounts to manage. Please don't add yet another one to that list.
Markus and Jeb, please add sapphire ore block, ruby ore block, sapphire block (shine blue block), and ruby block (shine block) to Minecraft. Same like Emerald Ore and Emerald block. Also please addglass slab blocks to Minecraft. Put 6 Glass blocks (clear or any color) in craft table to convert into 16 Glass slab blocks (clear or any color). Like same like we made fences, etc. That will be wonderful for ceil and floor. Please fix place bed on Glass block. Also don't forget color of glass blocks and slabs too!

Just my two cents.
Actually it's four Iron Ingots for the Iron Trapdoor, not six. You need six Iron Ingots for an Iron Door.
