So i was reading a thread on the mystcraft oil page and think to myself this is a bit overpowered then i thought to myself about gregtech he nerfs most mods but he doesn't nerf Mystcraft? doesn't that seem a little odd is it because he's not allowed he doesn't want to or hasn't gotten around to it? this is not a GT Flame thread just wondering why he hasn't nerfed Mystcraft its like Greg nerfing IC2 And then not nurfing EE2 what do you guys think?
Mystcraft oil page

I'm not going to touch the GT portion of the discussion, but the Oil page brings with it massive instability that's difficult (not impossible) to control. You know the old standby of adding in a few Charged pages to control instability from a single Dense Ores? Well... good luck with that when you create an entire world full of flammable fluid. Once all loaded chunks are burning... RIP server.
Like i said i don't want this to be a GT Flame thread so not gonna talk about that this was just a question on why he hasn't changed the recipe for any items in mystcraft basically.
Mods that have different recipes when GT is installed have changed those recipes themselves. I think MPS is one, tho I really don't know (edit) which mods specifically do have those recipe changes.
Yes and this isn't a bug fix its a nerf i don't think anyone can deny that he nerfed that mod
The thing about Mystcraft is that a lot of it depends on randomness. I mean getting pages is largely a random affair, trading and searching until you randomly come across whatever you're looking for (it's not like Iron where you dig down and know you will find it, it's a lot more random than that). And then writing a stable book involves luck and randomness as well, especially if you don't have every single page you need to make an age 100% stable.
All that randomness makes it very hard to balance. Someone can find the "OP" pages in the first village he finds, or it can take him weeks to get a few crummy pages.
Besides, I wouldn't be surprised if Greg just goes "Mystcraft doesn't fit with my mod, if you want the GT experience don't use it", which I would understand. I mean if you want a hard game with GT (which I assume you want if you use GT...) then why would you use a mod like Mystcraft to make things easier? It goes against the whole idea of a "hardcore" experience.

Pretty much this, I tried the new mystcraft thing and after running through 10 or so ages looking for the library's It got really boring. I got a lot of pages doing that but nothing cool.
Finding a specific page would be murder on my mind I would literally go crazy.
No point in doing a Fuel setup in GregTech when he buffed thermals the way he did. Lava page has no instability, and a Thermal setup is so much easier to setup.
