Why you revive thread? Now the DE debate will be kicked up by people who don't realize this argument was started months ago.
well, the thread was alive a week ago actually, so i dont think its much of a necro... and there is nothing bad debating on the forums about a mod balance. Why should we be scared off it, as long as we refrain from non-productive rants about it?. I wouldve created a thread about this myself, but since i found this, will be using that instead.
For me, DE need some tweaking, since its turning from a very cool designed mod to a plainly "rush to this once on a fresh server and go creative on the same day". Thats not bad when the mod goal is that, but ruins completely any kind of modpack immersion u might have without heavy tweaks. The mod balancing methods (draconium rarity and nether stars) can be destroyed from plenty of mods in quite early game, so probably a "hard mode configs" would be needed. Which would those hard configs be? No definite ideas, but as was exposed before, probably a bit of a nerf on the weapon/armor tiers could be used, either some drawback or tuning down their powers altogether a bit...

Um, it was created to fight the Chaos dragon. Have you taken a hit from one of those? It's also quite expensive so I think your cries of despair over it are pretty dramaqueenish.
I was going to make a long winded reply, then I read this. It sums up my initial reaction nicely, so I'll just re-post. Nicely done

I remember a mod here once threatening to ban people for whining about necro-posts, i think they had a valid point. It's actually more annoying and less relevant than the OP in this instance lol.
We did, just didn't necro the thread for it considering how popular of an anime it is.Noone got the FMA reference here?
That, and I didn't read the post. Da-, er, darn you!
Can confirm, am the holy necropost meme man.
EDIT: no merge. Curse pls

Humans, are very unintelligent, and obtaining 'power' and 'invincibility' makes them feel good. That's why so many people enjoy this mod. Now to await the obvious hate comments from those I offended. Le Sigh.
We are actually the most intelligent species on the planet at the moment. You are still right about the power thing.
However, we are unintelligent in comparison to what other species?

"Excuse me, waiter? Yeah? It looks like I've run out of like buttons. Can I have some more?"
As Azzanine said, we are, in fact, very intelligent relative to everything else. Powe-hungry though we may be, however, we also appreciate a challenge; "people like this mod because it gives us power" doesn't apply. As intelligent beings, we tend to refuse to accept power in games unless we think we have earned it. That "think" is different for everyone, though, so balance is hard to do.
Literally half the population is below average intelligence.

Too Much Free Time
Humans are intelligent, but all the same we do a lot of stupid shit- hence 'people are stupid'.
It stems from not applying our knowledge to a given situation rather than simply being unintelligent.
Look before you leap folks. It has a much meaning today as it did 500 years ago.
Theres a lot of reasons other than stupidity that someone might want to become powerful quickly in Minecraft. First reason that comes to mind is impatience with the early game grind. Ive restarted from scratch enough times to know this feeling all too well.
Otherwise everyone would just be playing creative or have NEI cheat mode on.
I personally don't mind very powerful stuff, although it would be nice if they had a cost that matched the amount of power. Draconic armor seems to use less power than a furnace (okay, maybe not quite that little).
Actually, that's the definition of the median, not the average.
Although it likely that the mean and median aren't too far from each other.

I think the contrast in power feeds the ego much better then power off the bat. You feel better with your strength as you remember your past weakness.
EE2 was essentially "earned" creative mode after a while but that slight resistance at the beginning makes the game a bit more enriching.
Some folks like more resistance than others but some resistance is needed for a stimulating experience. It's why creative mode is less satisfying unless you treat the game like a glorified voxel editor and get artistic satisfaction from a build.
