You could argue NO mod is balanced against vanilla, since vanilla was balanced for vanilla. Next argument please.
Update on the Future of FTB Modpacks in 1.7

As soon as you throw mods into the equation balancing around vMC is useless. TE3, IC2, BC, etc. all throw vMC balance out the window.
All this "make your own packs" "dont play it when you dont like it" "combine packs" "configure your packs" is making me think you people are playing SSP. Sure this sounds great in theory but I really don't think you will be able to find decent server that has things you want.
TE is also OP.
And balanced could also be close to standard-same progression speed etc. which TE doesn't fit.
In my opinion, the only decent server is a private whitelisted one, since those tend to have less lag and less rule breakers.
@Xarlas no I don't use it,it's got ad fly links.But I heard it needs very complicated setup.
TE just ruins progression by using a super-simple energy system that powers very cheap multifunctional machines.

These are opinions, not hard facts. There are people that find TE3 balanced, there are others that find IC2 balanced. Balance and "OPness" are arbitrary statements. Things can only be as balanced or as "OP" as someone believes they are.
And IC2 is? And if you bring up gregtech I'll strangle a rabbit.
@gollark8 So what do you get to early in TE ?
I can get ore doubeling with Tinkers Construct as soon as with TE
With the AE Grind stone even earlier

I can bang a mod together in few hours that will allow you to dupe items with one block if you ask it nicely. And after that I will bang together mod in 5 minutes that will have an item that sets you to creative if you ask it politely, does that make the first mod balanced ? Your logic is mindblowingly flawed.
Nope FTB is a map that became a pack that became a launcher that has many packs. It is not just a few mods.[DOUBLEPOST=1398715413][/DOUBLEPOST]
2 of 10 packs. That leaves 8 packs.
This is a completely true statement. TE is not balanced around an arbitrary and limited sandbox. It...well actually it's still an arbitrary, limited sandbox. It just lets you automate a few things.
Realistically, any mod that just doesn't outright hurt the player is going to be unbalanced / OP compared to vanilla.
And while it's been stated a few times already...RF and TE are not the same thing. CoFHLib and Core are getting *major* overhauls for 1.7. Time (and other things) permitting, I'll be back a bit this summer and we'll probably completely refactor everything CoFH.
Don't assume that the current state of things is how things will always be. If anything, the *only* constant you can assume at this point is that RF will exist - TE may or may not be a primary generator/consumer of it.WOW 10 Modpacks for 1.7

First post:It speeds up progression loads.
Second post:IC2 is just something that can speed progression a little and makes much more stuff to do.It's balance is even better with GT.
Third:I think you can switch off the AE grind stone.And TiCon is even worse,especially with what was going on with TiCon removing gt's entire oredict handler breaking several recipes rather then just using a crafting blacklist thing GT has.
Can you name a single mod that doesn't speed progression in any way? I don't care how fast TE3 speeds it so long as it's balanced against itself and whatever mods may be present in a pack with it. Same with IC2. Or any other mod you can name.
And closer, long-term friends
Since it was lost in the backlog of whatever these people are doing, I'm "bumping" it.
I for one think this is a good thing. Making the modpacks have different mods(yet be modular, so you can combine them) means a LOT more options going forward
and yet there are config options to make crafting recipes more expensive (if 2 gold ingots, redstone, iron and various other materials per machine are too cheap for you)
If ores are too common to obtain (which they are in my opinion by spawning so much), you can use COFH World gen to reduce it. So there are many ways of "balancing" this so called OP mod.
TE3 seriously eats your redstone reserves, before energy conduits, redstone hardly had any use, now I can't get enough of it, thanks to TE3.
