It all depends on your own interpretation of difficulty. For one, I'll probably find the low to high rank guild quests a bore (except for Brachydios and Golden Ceadeus), and only upon reaching G-Rank actually start to feel challenged.

Of course, at every rank you'll need to get better equipment, but that doesn't stop monsters from being hard. From my experience with MHFU, even good High Rank equipment doesn't compare to a decent G-Rank weapon when you enter G-Rank.
