World base was also really easy, the challenge came from TU fights like arch tempered, Leshen, and Behemoth. MH in general is a lot easier than people want to admit, the reason people struggled with older games was simply a lack of experience. Learning your weapon and learning new monsters made things much harder, and due to the iterative nature of these games, a huge portion of your knowledge carries over from game to game.
MH1 and 2 being harder mostly comes from jank, like Plesioths massive hit boxes and instant charges from flying wyverns. Take those away and suddenly the monsters become 10 times easier.
Also going back to older games, I struggle with the controls a lot more, having been spoiled with later entries. After a year or so of playing World, I went back to 3U, and damn it feels so wooden in comparison
