why do some people refuse to engage with this game
I just joined an SOS for the Shara Ishvalda story quest, and the host was using a HR Xeno’jiiva HBG with the full Direwolf set you get at the start of Iceborne. HOW DO YOU AVOID LITERALLY HALF OF THE ENTIRE POINT OF PLAYING MONHUN??? When you’re not hunting the monsters, you’re buildcrafting and experimenting with different decorations, weapons, and armor. The fact that they still had this gear at the end of the main Iceborne story tells me they just breezed past anything remotely interesting because they wanted to no-brain everything. There are a bunch of different cool playstyles you can discover by investing time into the grind, but you don’t really get that by brute forcing fights with a not very mechanically challenging weapon like HBG, then calling an SOS when things don’t go your way.
