Rocks are generally cautious with decent, vulnerable hands, but their bet it properly (half pot or more). According to your description, those players are not rocks. They are weak-tights, habitual slowplayers, minbet minraise donkeys. In their "standard" mode they make a lot of speculative limp-calls, to outflop big pair and play fit or fold on flop, do stupid crap like minbet lots of flops etc. In "tilt" mode (after folding 12th time to c-bet) they are getting ready to go deep with marginal hands in order to "make a stand".

preflop, played nothing but ace high, double paint, or pocket pairs (also JT, QT, KT, AT)

Find their breaking points for top pairs and middle pairs. Do they call turns with draws? Do they call 2nd barrel pressure bets with marginal hands? Are they able to let go of overpair if you send them message "AA/TP no goot"?

almost NEVER raised preflop (but would call raises with above hands); might raise with KQ+ , TT+ (people that night limped with JJ, AA)

Add some connectors to raising range (doesn't have to be suited) in late position. You will combine FE of c-bets when they miss and free river cards to OESD's (to crack a pair/set if they call flop and check turn).

Post flop- need top pair or better to minbet, or else check/fold away
Would chase high flush draws + oesd's

Great. If their flop standards are THAT high, then c-bet ANY board heads-up. Try to read, how they play those draws. Do they call turn PSB's? Are they capable of bluffing busted draws? (probably not, because they are weak tights). Second barrel made hands more often, make more pressure bets. Force them to make sets and flushes to play against you. If you retain tight image while doing it, you can double up quickly without showing down even once.

-trapping with / slowplaying top pair, two pair, etc.

Free river cards to draws, 3barreling high overpairs (if they call 3 barrels with TP), b/3b AI with sets AND overpairs (if they get pissed and start to check/raise top pairs).

-never, ever, EVER bluff nor even semi-bluff a draw.

Fold marginal hands if they bet. Semibluff yourself to get them to fold their marginal hands. If you get called on semibluff and make hand, then bet big.
