While Multiplayer is a vital part of MH, it shouldn't be imperative for some specific monsters.

Let's compare some of the toughest challenges that MH has offered with latest games. EX Deviants or EXmoth/AnciLeshen

In case of the two major threats of World, they are really challenging for themselves and, for different reasons, is vital having other players in order to deal with some mechanics.

In case of EX Deviants, they are probably even more difficult that EXMoth/AnciLeshen due to their insane damage and HP, but they doesn't have bullcrap mechanics who forcefully requires at least another player to bypass something.

I'm fine with Teamwork, when is not forced, there's a reason why MH is different (and better) from any other MMORPG
