Yes, because there is an economy there, it's survival (which in my and my friends' opinions is better), and it's more of a reward to build on.

Creative is only good for making really large builds or planning builds for survival. In my opinion, if you don't work for your build (ie: don't gather or buy materials), then it automatically becomes WAY less impressive.

OK so let me see... if someone makes a full scale model of the enterprise, Tahj Mahjal or something thats like amazing IRL or in fiction.. even if its creative.. its totally not impressive? yeah ok.

I think he means, you build up an overall wealth that you can show off. You can use things like diamond blocks and glowstone to show your wealth, unlike creative.

Of course giant awesome builds on creative are still awesome. I really do hate all the diamond block houses, though...

Creative is for showing off your skills as a builder. If wealth is the sole reason you play survival you must have some kind of superiority complex.

If you asked me, minerealm survival already is a creative server. There is no challenge, or survival aspect at all. Just patience. Not skill.

Te greatest builds in minecraft are not aleays packed with valuables. That I can assure you.

Why should an amazing player be limited by what they can afford? This is a chance for people to show their greatness, and if all you see it as is a chance to plan your builds you are horribly mistaken.

Who knows? Maybe the best builder in the world is already playing on minerealm? This is a chance for them to show their stuff.

It's not like it's that hard to get blocks. Look at SilverknightM, he built an amazing mansion legitly. It's more impressive that it was built without flymod and that all the blocks were mined, not spawned in creative.

Collecting stuff and building epic bases is fun in survival, creative just gets boring. In survival, you can to an extent, live in houses and what not. In creative, once it's built... that's it. You just look at it.

I'm just more of a survival guy. Just my opinion.

Ive always preferred survival as well, but silver has been playing for a very long time.

I don't think any build In survival is any more 'inpressive' but I can respect it's owner for putting in the hard work to get those materials.

Still, I think that in creative, in certain worlds, we will see much more impressive things than we see on survival.

absolutes != relatives
less impressive != not impressive

I don't see how anyone could think a massive creative build is equally impressive to an identical build on survival.

World Edit takes little to no creativity. I get more satisfying results out of actually building an enormous house or whatever by hand.
