yeah he had 'easier' time than luffy's.but even with 'easier' he still suffers deathly disease. luffy's era is rampage era where everyone chasing one piece. also in this time everything become more organized than at roger's era. both wg and pirates at their peak this moment. even marine is said stronger than ever.
roger beats rocks but luffy prolly need to beat 4 yonko and this very moment he is facing 2 of them simultaneously. bm and kaido ally is easily bigger than rocks itself.if luffy succeed to gain victory then it will be feat that Roger cannot even achieve on lifetime (at battle standpoint).
in marine side, garp indeed beat rocks with roger but akainu kill ace and win the war against roger. the marine indeed more stronger and dangerous than on roger's era.

And yet...there are only few people who can take on Rayleigh or WB. Is there anybody like Xebec? Because Blackbeard is too weak to be Xebec. None of Blackbeard's crew have what it takes to be the next WB or next Kaido.
When you complete against people like Xebec or Garp, how can it be easier than now? Again, I am yet to see anybody in this era match Xebec or WB or Garp.
Just because there are more people who are after it doesn't mean that it has become more difficult. Someone like Roger would still wipe the floor with every top tier here.
xebec is too weak to be blackbeard lol. that's why he isn't become the main antagonist of series.
roger with his crew doesn't wreck havoc the whole cake island the way luffy did with only half of his crew.
shanks is besting ray and akainu besting garp. blackbeard itself is besting xebec.
if roger's era is the greatest compare to current, why even oda write one piece on this current time line? he wants to give us the seconds best? lol
if roger was alive he will give everything he got to support luffy and this generation. same like what WB did give his life to open the way. same like what shank's gave.
