Sure, that's true. But whether I agree depends on what exactly you're talking about. Do you have a problem with the base games being too easy, or with the base game -> expansion release model itself? If it's the former, sure, I think building a bit more difficulty into the HR endgame would probably be a good thing. But if you don't like the base game -> expansion model itself, I can't agree with that. That system works really well for a series like Monster Hunter.
I think a game should provide some level of pushback on launch. You shouldn't be able to steamroll the entire experience with absolutely zero challenge on day one. I'm not asking for super hard monsters or anything, I'm asking for them to be a threat, AT ALL. Even in World, when I started my new save file to replay it a few months ago, there are still a few monsters in the base game that that still threaten me, if I'm lazy.
if what multiple reviewers are saying is true, and they were at no point threatened with being carded at any point in the game, that is a massive, massive flaw. monster Hunter isn't supposed to hold your hand from game start to credits. I don't want to play a version of this series where I can turn my brain off for the entire experience and still come out on top.

A lot of people seem to be mistaking that your average player is far worse than what the average poster in this forum appears to be from a skill perspective, they will be carting multiple times or outright hitting walls against what many people consider basic easy monsters. Even reviewers themselves are going to generally be better equipped than the average player and many saying they felt no pressure doesn't really immediately scream red flag to me.
I guarantee you there will be multiple people with negative reviews on steam within the first few hours that the game is too difficult and needs to be far easier.

Just because it isnt the first time doesnt mean it is good, just like the Character Vouchers.
