I am liking the game so far, but the dreadful drop rate on anything past rarity 1 is rapidly killing all excitement I have for it. It feels such a waste of time and disappointment to hunt higher rarity monsters, break their parts even, just to get a bunch of rarity 1 scales.

Greenhorns or oldhats, we all start somewhere in the series. Everyone is welcome.
No racism, bigotry, flaming, trolling, or any other behavior unbecoming of a guild hunter. We're here to play and discuss Monster Hunter with like-minded folks, act like it.
No "game shaming": This isn't a place for title vs title arguments. Take that to steam forums or elsewhere. Compare/contrast mechanics between games, discuss what worked or didn't and how. Devolving into flame wars of "MHX sucks, gib more MHY" will not be tolerated.
No "off-meta" shaming: having fun playing the game is the meta. Discuss strats, builds, and give suggestions, but that's all they are, suggestions.
📖 Original Art Only
No AI art: too easy to spam, too low effort.
Attribute original artists with links, watermarks, and mentions where available. If you don't know the source, say so.
If an internet sleuth finds a poster cribbing others' art as their own, that's a bannable offense.

I’ve had decent luck with 3+ rarity but the 2 is actually running at mantle level RNG for me. And I think that is a common problem from what I see. So maybe something is tuned wrong under the hood.
I've played a bit. I have yet to see the long-term hook, though. With Pokemon Go they have the obvious hook of completing your Pokedex, but MH doesn't have that as a main activity (at least to the degree of Pokemon).
I'm not getting deep into it because I don't think it'll be around very long.

...uhh, completing your monster "bestiary" by beating up all the large and small monsters the game has to offer? like in monster hunter stories, for example.
Yeah, but the pool of monsters is much smaller. Even with variations, there aren't nearly as many monsters as there are Pokémon.
maybe they'll add new monsters with each new updates like they did with MHR? at least i hope they do
Pink Rathian already out there, so at least they're doing variations.
Black diablos was part of the diablos event. I still haven't seen a Pink lady yet, but saw a few Black blos. Doesn't feel like a point to the "week-long" aspect of this event. Assuming only the weekend spawns will be good.
Yeah, I doubt it has legs as it is. It sits in a precarious position between too grindy/inaccessible for casuals and not able to be sweaty grinder by hardcore hunters. Could be wrong though, maybe if you play it really casually, but I doubt there’s money to be made there. Which, there is no current onus to spend other than potions at the moment so they also don’t have a great financial model. It’s got a lot to fix if it wants life. Not a surprise though after hearing about all the other non-POGO niantic fails.
