^ Actually, that was the original plan DE had. Steve had brought this up over a year ago when they were planning to rework dmg 2.0 into dmg 3.0. Their goal was to make higher MR weapons stronger than lower MR weapons. Since then MR req have been looked at as a means of judging how strong a weapon is. We have even seen DE lower or raise the MR req of weapons when they nerf or buff them.

So, yes, MR is suppose to correlate into how strong the weapon is or isn't.
