Also, Equivalent Exchange was the most cheaty thing in the world, and made every other mod not work properly - even the mod maker himself said this. Luckily, he's making a new, better and more balanced version that will hopefully be ready in a month or so. If I see you posting yet another "Just use FTB" comment, I'm going to have to block you.

The manner in which Sengir (the Forestry dev) behaved was appalling to say the least. I wouldn't want to use a mod pack that included Forestry, for that reason alone.

The RailCraft dev (CovertJaguar) changed his requirements for his mod to be included in mod packs. The Technic team are not (at the moment) willing/able to meet what he's asking.

It's unfortunate but the above is what happens when mod devs stop caring/lose sight about who their mod is for... the users.

As for Equivalent Exchange 2, it was only ever over-powered if you used it in an over-powered way. Also, I think that it will be more than a month before we see ready to use EE3. I wouldn't want to use a modpack that hadn't first gotten the explicit permission from the mod authors.
