First things first, you don't need to identify how good you are at the game three times in one comment.

Secondly, the reason most people don't like the slime weapons is because they're...Wait for it...

Overpowered!

The blast ailment has a universal advantage over every single monster in the game, effectively rendering raw damage weapons useless once you have access to the Brachy gear, as it's literally the same thing only with added damage every few seconds.

The sheer killing power of these weapons, you're correct, is hard to dispute, and therefore they are technically "good" weapons provided good is defined as being able to kill a monster in a short amount of time.

That said, some people (myself included) do not like how easy some of these weapons make the game. No matter what weapon I use to kill a monster, even ones with the element to which my quarry is weak, my Brachy weapons can always do it quicker and easier, making sometimes wonder what the point really is of crafting any other weapon.

While some people, clearly including you, value the weapons more for their killing power and defend them based on that aspect of them, it's the implications of said effectiveness that rubs some people the wrong way.

Rest assured, people don't hate these weapons because they think they're bad, they hate them because they're too good.
