Quality, a word I rarely seem to find myself thinking over these days. PMC is becoming an ever-so resourceful way to post minecraft ideas. These ideas are creative, extravagant, innoative, and sadly, a lot of the time, desperate attempts made be sadistic PMCers to gain "experience", this is something I like to call, crap.
I think that to understand crap, we must journey into the question, what is "experience". XP was never a tool that PMC made to be abused heavily. It was a way to encourage minecrafters to share ideas, gain feedback, and even see how their work shares with the many people that visit this website often. This is something made to create optimistic attempts, and to create a base on PMC, while continually running into update log abuse, reposting, stealing, and the ever so evident, CRAP!

And now we move onto crap, a subject which I do not want to flame about, but which must be said. As much as I respect everyone who uses this website appropriately, and do really inspire me to be honest, I can't say the same for as many. I often find myself looking through the skins, trying to find that one skin, the one, the perfect, the almighty. There are quite in fact, many of those skins, and this is where I have a problem. I never find them, because I'm constantly bombarded with psychadelic works that make me want to smash my head against a wall and chuck my computer out the window. Here's something that many skinners might have not found, a secret you may call it, giving people seizures and making skins shiiiiny, or RAINBOWWW, don't really influence me or anyone for that matter to diamond you.

But if there's something I hate the most, I think reposting would take it by a longshot. As I scroll down many projects, skins, even blogs, lets say I come across something called "House with automatic farm"(I really don't have any clue if this is someone's actual project, and do not intend this message to be for them in particular.). Now I think to myself, oh that's kind of neat, lets see what else there is. I scroll to something posted a couple minutes before. "House with- hey wait a minute". and I keep scrolling to find not 1, not 2, but 3 repostings of this. Now, I really don't buy any of the "oh the website glitched my project" comments I see on many of these projects, and I know, if you have the intelligence to effeciently operate a computer, than I think you can learn how to press one button, just one button properly.

Now, I think there are many positive influences that are helping turn this tide around. And if I may name one, then I think Angel Blocks Society wins it for me. There persistence in excellence, their mindset of never posting anything that isn't top quality, I just love to sweep my mind off the floor after seeing some of their works. I truly do respect people like this, and I don't want you to think I hate all of you that do like to grab things with Quantity, but in the end, Quality will outweigh quantity. I know I would feel a lot better with something getting 10 000 views than 20 things getting 500 views each, with no real pride in my work. This blog wasn't trying to spread my love of smashing my head, getting my mind blown, or having seizures( I really hope this doesn't offend anyone, it's not meant to), but plz, remember one thing, quality over quantity. Thank You for reading, and I wish the best for you PMCers to create top notch things that made me love this website because after all, I berievin YOU!

All feedback, and comments are well appreciated, and I'd love to keep more blogs on common problems coming, Thank You for the support!

Your blog is very nice. I fail to see how this does not have many diamonds.

Thx, but hey, I guess this does have a direct consequence of higher levelled PMCers stealing potential supporters, a prime of expample of what you said.

I feel like that's sorta what happens everywhere (which is rather blunt and just flat-out rude of me to say >:I...) but like, even with forums/other community-based websites (such as... ...forums...??) there will just be a point where the quality will go down as quantity goes up (due to increasing popularity or whatnot).

actually idk where i was going with that so I'll just say this: it was an interesting read, for sure, and definitely a nice point you made. Diamond for you c:
