EE is more than half of Tekkit, it does not take all the effort out of the game, it takes effort to get all the crap needed for even a condensor, and far more for collectors and relays, you obviously do not understand why people don't like servers without EE, simply because on a "raiding server", EE is a big portion of gameplay, to get your faction to the top, without it you're mining crap forever, which is boring as hell, no one who is good at Tekkit wants to play a server with ANY mods disabled, let alone EE.
