keep the mobs. what the heck is SURVIVAL for then... the mobs give you supplies and about half of your opponents die because of them​

I am entirely in favor of keeping mobs, both the peaceful and the hostile ones.

Peaceful mobs are especially handy in map 1 where you tend to need to run a lot more, and so they provide that food without having to go for chests in areas where other players might be. Peaceful mobs don't appear a whole lot - actually, I don't really recall seeing any - in map 2, but if they are there they can still be helpful.

Hostile mobs should stay simply because they reinforce the name of the game: Survival Games. Maybe the Hunger Games didn't have zombies or skeletons, but this is completely different. The mobs reinforce that players are supposed to survive as best they can. Spiders and creepers can help weed out players who maybe aren't alert enough or good enough to take on other players (thus not lowering their score), in addition to adding a bit more of a challenge for the better players.

Overall, I say keep them, especially with map 1. Map 1 doesn't have a whole lot of natural threats aside from some occasional falling points/lava holes, and so the hostile mobs help weed out the weaker players. Keeping them in helps makes games run faster and keeps an additional level of variety in the game.

I like all mobs, they should definitely stay.

The killer mobs add an aspect to the Survival Games which NEEDS to stay. If there were no mobs, there would be nothing to keep you away from the darker places in the map and no reason not to wander around some more at night time. They are also what I call "muttations" instead of evil crazy strong things, just many evil things that you can kill quite easily (most of the time).
They are also a useful source for supplies (skeletons for bones and arrows, zombies for rotten flesh and spiders for string. Maybe even endermen for enderpearls). Some people that don't get food survive off rotten flesh they found on the map.

The mobs that aren't aggressive are a good food source to use during the day. If you are low on food, you can just go find some animal to eat. It also gives another use for saplings and sticks, so that you can cook food (which I find helps a lot).

Wow, I wasn't expecting pro mobs vote to be that much ahead. Seems you all like the challenge of mobs!

I like mobs. They dropped me a iron sword once !

 

[tw1nkle]

is there a way to make mobs dumber? Skeletons have perfect aim, spiders are pretty fast at times, and creepers are plain annoying. especially in the first map.

 

[Nick Fioretti]

There is absolutely no reason to eliminate mobs.
Without mobs, the games wouldn't end as early, as campers would never be threatened at all. Also, on map 1, without mobs, the pirate ship would be the second cornucopia. It would be a bother to every player if it was just as simple as waltzing in. People complain about creepers and skeletons, but if you don't want them, just play single player on peaceful.
Please keep the mobs.

I personally think that mobs add a huge aspect to the game, but at the same time they can be really annoying. i think to compensate for this you could make it so more pumpkins spawned in chests (because mobs will ignore you).
