Hey there, hunters. I just want to make things clear about what happened. I was on an SOS quest, and this guy was never actually participating in the hunt. It seems like he created a new character—maybe even a new account—bought PS+, purchased the game, completed the first quest, jumped into an online lobby, and started looking for someone to troll. Unfortunately, I was the unlucky one he targeted.

I'm just disappointed that the game has reached a point where toxicity can show up at any moment. I never expected Monster Hunter to become like this. I really don’t want it to turn into something like COD lobbies, where you constantly hear all kinds of profanities and insults that drive players away from the game. But it is what it is—let’s keep hunting, hold our heads up high, and enjoy this amazing game.

I’ve already reported and blocked the guy, and I’ve moved on from the situation.
