The Reformers.

So I have made another sub-community made of people who I deem can help this community.
I'm calling it the The Reformers for a reason, and I would like to explain to everyone what we stand for before I get into the meat of the thread.
Note: I'm not calling it The Reformers because I/we want to reform this community, but rather make it better for everyone. And I am taking it seriously for the enjoyment of everyone else.

1. We stand for free speech, and we will be voicing our opinion.

2. We will try to give back to this community with fresh content, our thoughts, and what we see that could possible be fixed.

3. We are going to try to be a real as possible with everyone, as we are going to be talking about various subjects and voicing our opinions on them.

4. We want everyone to be heard.

We wanted to help, give back, and help you enjoy your time on the forum, and I wanted everyone to know that you do not have to be a staff member to help people!
So what we are going to be doing is posting collaboration threads to where we all voice our opinion on certain topics, and asking for yours as well. I have taken the liberty to set this up, but it's not really me who deserves all the credit for it. Just remember I don't speak for everyone when it comes to this, and I promise I won't sound so super-serious next time we make another one of these threads :p
I started off by suggesting everyone to give their opinion on Minecraft and how it's going, so here it is:
Disclaimer: These are our opinions, if you happen to disagree don't go out of you way to hate on them.

I started a single player world.
It was actually extremely fun.
I have farms set up, a perfect region to be in, perfect nether area, etc. I have even found diamonds!
I mean, very few people play single player. But those people are seriously missing out- it's more fun to do it than any minigame you could ever create. Why? Because that's its purpose. People should seriously start playing minecraft for what it is and what it should be.

 

Exactly. I agree with you. I still play Minecraft Singleplayer on my Xbox.
The updated the crap out of it, so now it vaguely resembles 1.8.
But anyway, Minecrafts' Singleplayer is a bit unappreciated for its originality. More people should play it, or people should come out with 100% vanilla servers.

 

Unfortunately years ago I was the "Griefer" and the "Troller" I did many harmful things to others purely for kicks, nowadays I try to do joke-trolling were I just joke about simple topics that both parties can like and aren't meant to be harmful.

 

I honestly love MineCraft. After my dad retired from the Air Force and we settled down in Illinois, video games helped us bond. We played MW 3 and MineCraft all the time. I find it a challenge physically and mentally, trying to get as much stuff as you can and the loss that comes with it. But sadly, both of those things are dying out. I am changing, too, along with those things. Becoming more independent, changing beliefs and attitudes, and more, countless things. Of course, I wish these things would last forever, not have a finite end.
I know that we all are created equal, but it's what we do, as a community, as a person, as friends, that changes the equality we had. Greater than, less than, equal to. All can be true with everything.
Honestly, we are changing and the world is changing. Of course this community is going to change, have ups and downs, and we can't defy that. I know that someday this will end, be forgotten, but I hope, so dearly, that the friendships I formed here don't end.
I want to be a part of this reformation. Thank you Venom for this, and everything else you do.


Gosh, that was pretty serious, now wasn't it. See, I can write mini-essays, too. With more shit grammar!

 

@Venom_Snake thanks for including me! <3

 

Honestly, I feel the time has come for Minecraft to see the end of it's lifespan. Mojang inconsistently updates the game, making the game boring in between, and the game is very different than what it once was. But, it was fun while it lasted.


BTW great thread, Venom.

 

Minecraft has changed, and although it is becoming more modern, it seems as if the original intent of the game is gone.

While we have new perks and items, I still feel as if we aren't playing the same game we did many years ago. I used to enjoy my old survival worlds. I loved mining, but now it just doesn't feel the same.

As time moves on, Minecraft draws further and further from the game we once knew. It was once a fun game to build and create, and the sky was our only limit, but now as Singleplayer is obsolete, players are moving on to multiplayer.

In Multiplayer, the sky is not your limit. You have rules, you cannot build what you wish to freely do. You can't build what you want, and your experience is ruined by other players. You're trapped in your small limited areas of building, and expressing your imagination just isn't there anymore.

 

You're damn right, I try to build a shrine for Hitler but I keep getting banned. /s

But on a serious note, limiting someone's ability to express themselves means that the artist inside them cannot bloom.

 

I have a certain topic,
Minecraft Youtubers.

How many Minecraft youtubers you know that is still relevant up to now? (Like around 2011 or 2013 up to now.)
We have DanTDM (Who got a huge boost 4.4 mil. subs this past year), Sky Does Minecraft (Still struggling around 400k - 1mil view range), SSundee who gotten better as ever before after TeamCrafted disbanded and etc..
But there are those channels that were once huge, are now crippling with very low views. Which is sad to see that they are still making videos on the same game, and there are other former Minecraft Youtubers who became gaming channels (As in playing other games besides Minecraft to get out of the fall of views). Like paulsoaresjr (A.k.a The guy who's videos about Minecraft tutorials on the old Minecraft website, which helped me on my first time playing the game.), iHasCupquake, KuleDud3, ZexyZek, and a plenty of more.
I missed those times, but I'm alright with it because they do what they have to do to keep their channel alive. Always with fresh content to watch for viewers to enjoy, like me. I used to watch a lot of Minecraft videos from Minecraft channels but one day, my mind went *snap* which made me no longer enjoy Minecraft videos, I had no idea why I no longer enjoy watching it.
Is it because of puberty? Repetitive content? I have no idea, which made me switch to other channels. Like Maximillian Dood, Kubz Scouts, Mike Inel, Vanoss and many more. But of course, I still watch Minecraft videos from Minecraft channels. It's just not as much as before.

 

I never liked Minecraft channels from the start, I found them to be quite redundant, and they seemed to hype up irrelevant stuff. YouTube is so saturated with Minecraft videos, that whenever I search for something, I get a Minecraft video instead, it's so fuckin' annoying. And don't even get me started on those Minecraft parody songs.
