Minecraft 1.7.2 and why it does not deserve to exist

[Joel/MadDawg]

I do agree with most of what you say as a old player myself; To add the "Sprint Button" is not like BSM because when you are hit while using it your sprint will stop. It's just a bit faster than double-tapping W; That is the only difference from 1.6.4 Sprint and 1.7.2 Sprint.

Your sprint doesn't stop, it is fundamentally the exact same as BSM.

Have you tried it in 1.7.2 with PVP. Well I have and it does stop.

If you keep holding the sprint button down it does not stop. However, I have only tried this in single player and it may be different on servers

Its completely different when youre fighting a player... Try it out on a PVP server with 1.7.2

As I've been a user of BSM on the Hive. I can safely say that they're basically the same thing.

So, 1.7 came out! Yay! BSM for everyone!!

But seriously, "The update that changed the world!" Agreed, but for the worse and by miles. Firstly, if before only about 1/3 of my clicks were registering as hits, then now less than 1/6 do. When fighting, I can not sneak attack anyone because Minecraft is so clever and it thinks that I am hacking by clicking 6.5 times a second!! Now, that is me, what about Blamph? 10.2 times a second, will he get any hits? I have managed to constantly lose games today, except one, which is really not a normal day for someone with 695+ wins...

Another thing that this update did is that it gave people with longer fingers an advantage. Myself, having medium hands, I can't play whilst using TAB, f5, the stupid sprint key, space and the WASDE with one hand, that is not including the occasional need to sneak. What was the point of adding this key? To make the whole world of Minecraft a place for hackers and bees (if you don't get the reference, go to pre-school).
Now, the main problem, MCSG are completely ignoring the fact that so many of the older players are pointing out that Minecraft is getting worse by the update, and that they want at least 5 or 6 1.2.5 servers in each region, no! MCSG update to every new, flawlessly worsening update! Why would you do this? I have a feeling that MCSG isn't going to stay popular for very long if it continues following on in Mojang's footsteps.

Now, I may sound like I am raging... I AM!

MCSG, due to minecraft hacks please return!

I gree on the changes to the hotkeys being a quie stupid idea, but other than that I didn't notice any changes that bothered me much.

Keeping hackers at bay is a good thing, since they are really becoming a problem -.-

I actually like this update. The sprint key is a small feature, but it's optional. Not everyone is going to use it. Hell, I hardly ever use it. It's a small little feature to improve the performance of Minecraft.
As for 'the update that changed the world', the update was 85% of a biomes update, hence the name of the update being that. Then there were the other things, like the Shaders, Sound Settings, and then the Sprint key.

All in all it wasn't that bad of an update, and the Minecraft landscape has gotten better if anything.

You have to consider that Minecraft isn't just PvP.. I'm sure they'll fix any issues eventually. Everyone's having the same issues so it's fair, no reason to complain

I don't even use the sprint key, not necessary.

I love all of the world generation and blocks they've added.

I think it's fine, nice even.

There's nothing wrong with this update in my opinion. It was unfair how some people had bsm but now it isn't because everyone has it. (Technically). And if you have *small hands* change it to another button or just simply do not use it.

Don't stop when you hit.

It is worse for those that were good at sprinting.
