If you don't like Minecraft don't play the game. If you don't enjoy seeing the videos on YouTube, it has this option to flag the video as "this does not interest me" and you can go in and put in your disinterest box, "Minecraft" and you will never see another Minecraft video again. It really is that simple. Why come here and complain? Why join public servers and complain until you get kicked? Why spread your hatred and bile? What is the point? Go away with your negativity.
Just as much as you hate the game, we hate your negative energy bringing everyone else down. Your opinion doesn't matter if you dislike the game. We don't want to hear it, which means we don't want you hanging out with us. I dare you to go into a bar and complain about alcohol. You'll get kicked out or worse. Go to a church and complain about God, you will probably get kicked out. Same applies here. If you dislike it, here is a thought, leave, go find something else to do. Clean your house, get a job, get a girlfriend/boyfriend, play another video game (there are a ton of FREE decent games out there), rob a bank and go to prison, ie anything BUT complaining about Minecraft.
NEWSFLASH: We love the game!!! That's it, pure and simple. For us it is fun. If you can't see how we love it, well the game just isn't for you...
P.S. I am 31 years of age and it still amazes me that adults, grown ups, not just children, go places and complain about the place they are in instead of going elsewhere... It makes no sense to me...

It reminds me of this person in my class at school. He almost has some form of snack food that he eats in the afternoon. Every day, he complains about it in some form. Yet he eats it. The one time a teacher took it, he complained until the person the teacher gave it to(who liked the snack) had thrown away the bag. Some people just like to complain.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Someone once said, in defense of a poorly thought out suggestion that was not being supported: "Theres so much awesome and rare things to add and youre just like, oh , thats too good, no, i want something common like a grass block"
Often (but not always) so are these people who "complain" all the time people who just want to improve the game as a whole. But no matter whether their idea is good or not people start saying "If you don't like it don't play it" and it is such a shame that no matter how good there ideas are so will the others negativety end that perhaps amasing idea. Have you tried posting a suggestion in a minecraft video's comment section? I do know that it is not the place were you are supposed to post suggestions or try to fix a problem within the game. But if we pretend that we would want ot do that do to some unknown reason so will you have several fanboys who will treat every complaint about the game (and with complaining I don't mean "this game sucks" but rather "growing food is too easy, there should instead be....") as a personal insult. No matter how good it is so will they not listen to what you have said and just answer "if you don't like it, don't play it" over and over again and it pains me so much that all of this potential has to be destroyed. Because minecraft is not perfect (I am not saying that you think that) and there are always things that can be improved and those brave souls who are willing to withstand the social torture deserve to be praised. Because they are heroes, at least in minecraft (figureatively).
So please be aware that there are a lot of rotten eggs on both sides of the discussion. I am aware that for many so has their willingness to improve the game with suggestions gone out of hand or missused with a lot of negativety being thrown around as a direct result. I am aware that many people just complain about a game without end, just seeing the bad things and ignoring the good parts, only pointing out the bad things without coming up with suggestions of their own. Those people should be ignored and "kicked out" as you say it but the same goes for those who treat every suggestion or hint that you dislike anything in the game as an insult ignoring it no matter how righteously the complaint is. I am not saying that you are a fanboy and should be ignored, I am saying that we need to have a constructive discussion about whether it is a good suggestion or not were we actually give an answer that is relevant to the suggestion! If someone says that creepers are to easy (not saying that I think so) instead of answering that "if you don't like it don't play it", instead answer "Why would we want ot make them harder, they already blow up enough houses as it is".
Luckily so are the rotten eggs on both sides of the discussion few here on the minecraftforum but in the rest of the game world so is that sadly not the case. So please, I am not insulting you personally, I am writing this to underline the problem with those who are unwilling to see any problem with the game at all. Don't get me wrong, I love minecraft. But I also beleive that minecraft is not perfect, there is still a lot of things we can improve.
Oh absolutely bromosapian. I am not saying that people with great ideas are the ones to blame, I am saying the ones who come in and post repeat posts "I hate how YouTube has destroyed Minecraft" or "Minecraft is sooo overrated" or "man Minecraft is sooo boring" And then when you go in, it is just some rant on and on about how they dislike the game... well then don't play, but please stop posting with nothing to offer, don't watch said videos, don't have anything to do with the game. The game really only needs to be improved on Windows with Java as per performance etc.
Again, the people who say people's ideas are garbage and then not say how their idea can be improved upon. This is just doing nothing but tearing people down. I am sick of seeing post after post of some idea that seems kind of silly, but could easily be improved upon, not just my own but other people's as well, get just abused. Then when I speak out against it I get the warning? Saying I am being abusive? What? In what universe is that fair?
The rotten eggs are the ones who need to be permanently banned from the forums. There is "I dislike your idea, it's crap, you're crap" etc... this is the behavior I am sick of reading time and time again. Or the constant blathering about how they dislike how the game is, but offer literally nothing on how to improve it... Then play a different game or do something else... In fact I think if an idea is bad, there are ways of handling it. Some ideas sound great on paper, but could never in a million years be implemented as they are too outlandish, some are already done with mods, some are ok but offer little to the game, others are great. I think a lot of miscommunication from people of younger ages is misconstrued as a bad idea as well. My friend's 14 year old autistic son had a great idea for a mod, his father posted it to the forums for him a while back and it got implemented. But too often people want to do nothing but be negative and take their issues out on others and it gets allowed on the forums, in public servers, etc...
I am well aware of all of this. I used to just browse but it was the negativity that pretty much made me make a name and begin posting because I am sick of seeing it. If you have such a strong hatred of the game, then go away. It is very unwelcome and does nothing but harm.
You can't please them all. There will be haters, those who have their reasonings, and those who just want to inject anger and hatred into the people they are complaining to.
You're better off ignoring them, don't give them the attention they want, and don't even try to prove them wrong when they are so obviously wrong.
There's nothing you can do with it but complain without expecting any result, an activity usually simplified here as "whining" (I don't approve of that word, just sayin').
Plenty of people praise Minecraft all the time. I mean, literally millions of kids love this game and are not afraid of pointing it out constantly, everywhere. It is that bad if some people have something bad to say about the game that millions praise? I don't see it as a problem, also because you can't censor them even if you wanted to. Also, the more people X complain about other people Y, the more people Y become eager to annoy people X, it must be one of the many untold internet laws.
Maybe this thread is just for venting out the frustration of not being part of a perfectly homogeneous hivemind. Personally I find the lack of dissent frightening, but to each his own, point is: there's nothing you can do about it.
Just my 2 cents, I didn't mean to derail the conversation.

I am not talking about the people who praise or hate on Minecraft, if they have a point. I am talking about the useless negativity.
Are you talking to me about this or are you talking about people in general? I really dislike how "you" can be used as "people in general" and as when you are talking about one person. It may be easily seen by a native speaker but as I am not (swedish actually) so is the difference not easily seen.
Alright I will change that tone. I can see how it can be construed as intrusive, but people in general is too blanket of a statement, so I will be more specific from now on. It is an alliteration, pointing, the user to see things from that perspective. If it isn't directed at you specifically, then move along in your mind track, etc.
Sidenote, you are going to go far in life, if you keep this positive attitude, and propensity for life. I am 31, and have always been like this. I can tell you, that if you apply yourself, and go through college, you will find that your career choice to be very rewarding over those who simply want to be heard. You get what takes some people years to learn, those are the people who are filling the gas tank of that BMW you worked so very hard to obtain. Just promise me that you will treat the Janitor, the gas tank filler, etc with this same type of positivism that you give to your superiors. You can always tell the worth of a man (or woman) by how (s)he treats their inferiors.
Some people won't be happy until the world burns. That's why we don't let kids play with matches.
I grew up not having internet until age 15, but I think it's a huge blessing in my case, since I've had time to mature and work on how I interact with people online. Otherwise, who knows what trouble I would have landed myself in at a younger age. I'm 23 btw.
The irony of making a rant thread about negativity
This is gold. I love it
Hm... On second thought it is.
OT: There's always going to be negativity. I just don't care about it much really. Though sometimes there's the rare one that makes a somewhat decent point, but goes overboard.

If you can't deal with criticism (or even "hate"), don't read such threads. Problem solved.

Agreed. Games can make people very negative to everything in life.

Figured it was time for a change.
