@Chimera-gui: >Because Monster Hunter has been built about teamwork from the beginning and it shows in every aspect such as rewards being balanced to encourage it and the actions of every hunter mattering.

So? MH has always had the option to play either solo and multiplayer. Sure, the multiplayer aspect has always been important both during development and as a big incentive to get new people to play the game, but so far you have never been forced to actually play that way. The entirety of World is easily soloable. If World was meant to be a multiplayer game, then it should specify that an internet connection is needed to play it, like online based games are required to. But it's not. You can play the game without an internet connection just fine. But then all of sudden monsters that pretty much need online play to be hunted are introduced as DLC. The playerbase's ager is completely justifiable in this case.

>Going into MH with the idea that you should only be looking out for number one is frankly a toxic mindset and I suspect the creators would agree with my assessment.

Or maybe I can't afford a good internet connection, or the subscription, or perhaps I simply don't enjoy playing online as much as I do playing solo. Those delusions you have regarding solo players are more toxic than anything you've mentioned. Cool it with the projection dude.
