It doesn't matter what you, or they... think about better worlds or whether or not a reward is worth it to someone. The problem of evil can be restated for better worlds, and nothing about there being candy at the end of the rapefest makes it less of a rapefest.... so that's a complete non-issue for the PoE.
If this is the best god can do then this is the best god can do. Suffering exists in this world. In that case, god may be willing, but he's just not capable.
If this isn't the best he could do, it;s still what he did. Suffering exists in this world. In that case, he's capable, but not willing.
If he's both willing and able...then at least some of this suffering wouldn't exist...and yet it does.
These guys are telling us that they can't solve the PoE (completely predictable), but they're pretty sure god is giving out lollies so they don't need to think about it.
