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.

Keep it related to Monster Hunter. Plain and simple. If it's questionable, be ready to back it up.
π Respect Your Fellow Hunters
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.
π 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.

Iβve 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.
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 thereβs money to be made there. Which, there is no current onus to spend other than potions at the moment so they also donβt have a great financial model. Itβs got a lot to fix if it wants life. Not a surprise though after hearing about all the other non-POGO niantic fails.
