Unfortunately too many people already see Low Rank as being pointless as if you are good enough you shoot straight through it and get to High Rank too easily with a full team of 4.

Which is why me and my GF hunt together as a duo, makes fights last longer so i can learn how the monster works for solo hunting and we both have much more fun with increased chance of breaking things..

No G-rank will make the people who blast LR and get to high rank just go 'oh..thats it?' and may be soured on the series and as Sam said, having something to aim for is what keeps the game interesting..and having the thing you have left to do be a solid wall of dificulty takes the fun out of having it left to do...thats why i still have so many end game Apex left to do. They are too difficult for me and her and so we dont WANT to do them.
