"Minecraft is 8 years old"
Yes, it really does look that old compared to some of the other voxel-based games coming out in the next year or so - that is if Jeb, etc. don't totally run MC into the ground first.
MC died years ago when Notch left. Now it takes 6 months to get a few new blocks added.

Congratulations, you have claimed #10 and implied #8! And despite seven years of claims like yours, Minecraft is alive and well!

That's... everything we have.
What is it that you want?

Should we never add anything else? And if not, what is worth adding and what is not? What are your standards? Are they consistent? If not, why should anyone listen to you?

Define "necessary."

"I get that this isn't any sort of hard proof, but allow me to continue making stuff up."
We don't need anything until it is proven that we need something. Horror stories like this one only encourage negative feelings without contributing anything of true value.

The endgame for me is the point where I could feasibly do whatever I want, where all previous restrictions are gone. A cycle begins in which I choose a project, collect resources, build it, and then start a new project all over again.
This period is usually after:
-At least one of every possible kind of block is collected.
-My armor and tools are enchanted just the way I like them.
-My base of operations is more-or-less complete.

Or you could... you know... PM me with your testing strategy, we could go through it together, and agree that whatever the result is, we will agree to honor it? You know, like intelligent people who are willing to admit to being wrong? And if I am, then I will use your data and experience being on the "other side" to help convince others.
I asked for statistics. More specifically (and not stated), statistics about people liking 1.7 better. Which is actually most measurable by statistics, and not by your various friends supporting your confirmation bias. The rest would not be measurable by statistics. I was cherry-picking just one of your statements because I am thoroughly tired of this crap. I apologize for giving you a false impression. I should have asked for generic evidence or proof instead. I will adjust my behavioral mechanisms to change this for the future.
We're probably off-topic, as I don't think coding bloat is the same as feature bloat, which is what this thread is about. Anything further should be moved to PM.

Okay that's kinda funny.

I'd take a look myself, but I don't see anything to look at. The loudest voices are the ones I see, and they're all shouting different things with a sense of superiority. What should I be looking at? The hundred pages of people complaining for reasons that are purely emotional? FPS info which varies for everyone, even two people with the exact same computer, for no discernible reason? Mojang, who made the updates? The Optifine guys, who complain about it? Perhaps I should look at the code itself... except oh wait, I'm not a programmer. I could understand the context of Minecraft's code, but no one's giving it.
There's a reason I'm asking for proof: I don't know. I cannot say one way or another what's going on. Given my own personal experience, I do not think what you are saying is true. However, given that, and I quote myself, "info varies for everyone, even two people with the exact same computer, for no discernible reason," I am more than willing to believe that I am holding onto a false point of view based on limited data, if you can prove what you're saying.
I don't care what proof you want to give. Just give more than none and stop tossing unsupported assertions into an echo chamber. If you are so confident in what you are saying, then prove it. Where are you getting your info? "Seeing for yourself?" What are you seeing? How? How can you know that you are right? Anecdotal evidence that's worthless? Emotional arguments based on interpretation? At the very least please make it so that I don't have to read your mind to know what you're talking about. If you have enough reason for me to believe you, then I will.
