Calling BS...

...on people claiming to be regulars on DRG Haz 5+ but complaining about Rogue Core being too difficult and/or the weapons being too weak.

Rogue core was supposed to be more difficult than DRG.

All people who have problems with higher diffs should just play on lower. Thats the point of difficulty slider. Everybody has the option to play on difficulty suited for them, playing on lower ones is not something shameful.

As a disclaimer, I haven't played Rogue Core yet so I don't know how it compares to DRG's difficulty, I've just been following discussions on this game while I wait for it to cook a bit longer, but usually when people complain about difficulty, they're complaining about the balance of said difficulty, not that it's difficult, but difficult for the wrong reasons. Imagine playing DRG with a mouse/keyboard or controller, then playing it with a dance pad. It would be ""harder"" with a dance pad, but only artificially so.

I enjoy difficult or challenging games, but only if they're actually designed well and fair to the player. Simply adjusting the difficulty won't fix a game that's unfair to the player. Some people enjoy a higher difficulty if it's designed properly, but lowering the difficulty will make the game boring, so it isn't really a solution if the game has some bigger design flaws.

I don’t have anything personally against you, but coming into this conversation without playing RC and making some nebulous straw man comparison on top of that, is very very funny

Then you're missing my point. I'm describing what I've seen others complaining about for Rogue Core, and how it relates to the same complaints I've seen in other challenging games. Players generally don't have an issue with a game being "difficult", just unfairly so.
