I actually enjoy survival quite a bit. However, I started playing minecraft with the slowest/lamest computer of all time.
I got so sick of it that I quit until skyblock survival came.
My life was getting brighter because Skyblock is a world where everything else is air. Not very demanding towards the computer. HOWEVER. After playing skyblock 124 times, I got bored. I then searched for a 'Skyblock multiplayer server' and I found quite a few. However, they weren't just offering skyblock, they also had factions and PVP. I started with the different minigames they offered, but I wasn't quite what I liked. So I went and got on PVP. Ever since that day, when I tried PVP, I got hooked on it until now.
Oh also, I have a patience of zero and so, survival doesn't really work for me. I'd never be able to clear out a 50x50 area with a pickaxe. I'd have to use TNT/MCEDIT.
