It's basically no different than plate/gem/mantle farming though. They said they wouldn't implement lootboxes that could allow you to purchase weapons, armor, rare drops, etc. because they believe that the best part of Monster Hunter is the feeling of finally achieving your goals after many hardships. Why would they let you buy your way out that?
