I think EE's gay.
You're basically saying that no matter what you do in minecraft, you did it the easy way and don't give a stuff if it feels good to actually work for something.
Essentially you're sitting on your ass and getting literal metric forgettons of stuff being dumped into your lap. Without applying any effort at all.
I think EE should just stay disabled.
It's much more satisfying when you finally complete your first solar panel and then work your way up and progress to an at-home means of doubled ingot production.
I mean stuff man, I was super excited when I made my first Macerator and a solar panel.
Then I got even higher and made a batbox and pipe system to an electric furnace that then smelted the dust piles into ingots and sent them to a chest.
I was amazed and pretty excited.
Of course, I had some help from one person on the server.
If I was just being handed everything for no effort, then I would've made a factory, got bored, and left.
I wouldn't have spent all day on the server like I did today. I would've made something, felt no sense of accomplishment whatsoever, and left.
tl;dr: FPS games wouldn't be fun if they literally handed you every powerful weapon in the game at once. You'd kill like 10 guys and say "forget this I'm bored." I think EE is tremendously gay and ruins the value of playing.
The thing is, for me...
Progressing by gathering tons of resources manually (or by turtle, which is still slow and requires maintenance): Okay, yeah, awesome, got this done, got that done... ugh, when am I going to get to build stuff...
Progressing by spending around a day gathering resources and then building awesome stuff:
Tower done. IT'S GLORIOUS. Okay, now for railcraft!
I just have lots of ideas to build things, and I think the constant grinding and gathering inhibits them. Nor is creative mode ever hosted conveniently due to griefing and stuff, so EE's the best I can get. (Not to mention it does make it a little harder; i can sorta get the best of both because I tend to avoid collectors and condensers in favor of the transmutation tablet.)
Although I will admit, monster hunting has its merits.
