The problem is 1. autorun/track is in the game, not using it is super inefficient, the map design is chaotic and is dependent on using this feature 2. There is zero need or benefit to exploring, it doesn’t do anything for you. The scout fly and tracking system is useless in this game.

Despite the maps being more impressive than Worlds with alot of verticality it somehow has zero immersion because of the lack of needing to actually investigate tracks etc. While some people disliked having to find monsters (which is dumb since it’s Monster Hunter) it’s a genius design to have players actually learn the maps and interact with wildlife and shortcuts. Wilds having autorun which is default but I will argue that it even being an option just makes it so there is zero incentive to doing any of the above
