The height wasn't actually adjusted in new releases, it's just been made easier to mod for more height.
And... yeah I'm bored of Minecraft. Or rather burned out on it after making Citadel and Hagia Sofia. I'm also not keen on the direction the latest updates are taking it, it's not concentrating on its strengths and rather trying to turn it into something it isn't and isn't good at.
Aye, trying to make it into an RPG whe... I mean fine, RPGs are all well and good. But that's nothing to do with what's good about Minecraft. And there's so much he could add which would make what it is about better.
I wasn't referring to ease of killing (although I've not even got close enough to hit one yet; stupid bastards teleport too much), but Notch's intent in creating them.
I don't recall ever being killed by a Creeper, and only a couple of times (when I first started) did one ruin anything I've built.
I don't mind them destroying stuff, cos I could turn them off if I wanted
I find they have a habit of sneaking up behind me, and have had a couple jump off cliffs to sky-bomb me!
I agree so hard with this it's like I am agreeing with steel! No idea what that means, but it sure sounded good in my brain.
I want it to be alchemy/legos. I want to be able to invent/discover things that no one else has by mixing different types of materials and crap. Not that I would, because I'm lazy and not very inventive, but that to me is what the game should have been. There are already enough rpg/monster games.
