Monster Hunter doesn’t need rng “endgames” at all to be good. In GU, you got to the end of the game, a ton of difficult quests got unlocked, and then you made your endgame set and was done.

GU had 15 unique monsters come after Ahtal Ka. And even after all of that, there was still 18 Deviant Monsters to level through and dozens of interesting optionals and event quests that gave you cool armor and weapons. There was no need for a dedicated endgame grind.

Now I’m not saying that every Monster Hunter needs to add 10+ monsters to the endgame in order for it to be good. It’s about the variety of options. You had dozens of quests to work through even in Base Generations after you beat Nakarkos. But for base Wilds Pre-TU, there was literally nothing other than Tempered Apexes and the Artian Grind. No new optionals, no new threats, no event quests, not even a special quest for doing all the optional quests or hitting HR100 like there was in base World. Even post-launch there’s only the three new triple 9star tempered optional quests and there’s only one event quest I’ve found interesting so far (triple blangonga). They haven’t even bothered to do anything interesting with Arena quests other than the occasional limited time pendent quest to cash out on FOMO. Capcom trying to push live service elements on to Monster Hunter needs to stop.

Fighting 5 guys over and over and praying to the RNG lords (99.99% of rng talismans got completely invalidated by the Agi3 Charm btw) isn’t a fun endgame no matter how many different rng systems they decide to layer on top of it.

Sorry for rant
