Technically inept and/or young or disadvantaged does not mean someone cannot understand that "v23" is not "v25z", or that they were repeatedly told to use it. Anyone who really does fail to understand that really does have zero chance of using RC beyond "copy this design online and wonder why it doesn't work".
That is precisely what that means. Moreover, the op didn't demonstrate any explicit lack of understanding of versions. He simply stated the versions he was going to be using, a strong indication that he plays modpacks in a fire-and-forget fashion which is not only acceptable for players but any launcher's ideal ultimate goal. We provided advice and assistance, that's all we can do.
This is absolutely none of your business. If they want to play along with youtube and figure out absolutely nothing on their own, that's up to them.
You have no idea how many people report bugs while using old versions, and how large of a fraction of them do so knowingly, even after having been told to update, and how many people will hide or even falsify their version in an attempt to weasel support.
The vast majority of the time, it is, and as a result it is a statistically safe assumption; getting it wrong one time in fifty is acceptable given the time savings. Sticking with old versions of packs (as you did with what I strongly suspect was Monster, given the version numbers you were using) makes this doubly true, as generally speaking, if someone does not update their pack within a few weeks of a new version, they never do, and often trying to get them to do so is met with hostility.
No, writed above, is Tech World 2, and the last version of the pack is already very old, i'm thinking of switching all to direwolf but there is no rotary or reactor craft, but maybe I can do a manual installation.
There are also third-party packs which feature Reika's mods.
Die.
