Firstly, I'd like to thank you for reading what I have to say here today. I'm sure many of us have remembered the days of Beta, Alpha, or even for some people such as myself, Infdev or even further beyond that time. I think we can all remember the days when armor was helpful, yet you had to use instincts to survive. The player was required to outsmart the mobs. These days, it takes fifteen minutes to get iron armor, which is almost godlike ingame now. You could stand out in the middle of the forest, throughout an entire night, AFK, and still not die (It HAS been done!) due to the Minecraft 1.0.0 nerf. Don't get me started on diamond armor, takes at most three days to obtain, and since it takes ages to lose the slightest bit of durability, you might as well go on peaceful mode, because you're practically invincible. Creeper right behind me these days? I don't even flinch. No need to, because I have diamond armor, enchanted, which I got within seven days of creating the new world, and a creeper wouldn't even hurt my armor, making the idea of a creeper hurting me or actually posing as a threat insane. Endgame armor should not take three days to obtain. Near-endgame armor should not take a mere ten-fifteen minutes to obtain. Ravines make things even easier, and because there happens to be one attatched to every damn cave, it makes even diamonds easy. From a ravine, I could get three stacks of iron, more than I'd probably ever need throughout my gameplay experience, unless I wanted to build a REALLY big minecart system. I play on Hardcore mode, and I've gone two weeks already without dying. This is coming from the guy who doesn't even pay attention to mobs anymore. Mojang needs to cater to the killers out there, not just the builders.

If you are signing this, you agree that: 

- Armor needs to be nerfed, heavily. 

- Mobs need to be improved, and give the game some challenge. 

- Ores need to be harder to find. 

- Ravines need to be far more rare.
