That just proves my point even more. The mobs in this pack force you to be a hermit to survive. What fun is that? You have basically just negated any interaction with the mobs to begin with, so what's the point of even having them in your game?
Edit: Yeah I'm done with this pack. I liked it at first, but between enviromine (my most hated annoying mod), the ghasts, and special mobs that steal items from you, this pack is just a whole mess of annoyance. The quest line was fun in the beginning but I just can't get past all of the mods that induce difficulty through cheap annoyance.
