For my part, it started with a distaste for the Win8 UI, and the fact that they didn't pull every bit of that out from 10. I played with one of the dev previews for a bit (a couple hours, probably), and I didn't like that the loca

I play vanilla, and have since a short time pre-beta. I like the simplicity; it's kind of like playing a creative version of Solitaire with a giant Lego set. Then again, I also don't play on a server, watch people on Youtube, or r
