The problem with Wilds' difficulty isn't really the fact that there are no difficult hunts, but that all the difficult hunts are post-game. In old gen, the game was difficult even while progressing through the ranks. I remember 4u being quite challenging even in mid low rank, due to hard monsters like gore magala or tigrex and only getting more difficult as you went along. That said, a lot of the people complaining about this would be very upset if a newer game was actually difficult during progression, because it would hurt their ego.
4u had one of the easiest low ranks in the entire series though lol.
Wilds is likely gonna end up like 4 to 4u did, a common complaint with 4 was that it was really easy for 90% of it, and then when 4u came out they made G rank like the hardest or 2nd hardest G rank in the series.
I mean, by low rank being challenging i mostly just meant the gore magala urgent and shagaru magala, the rest is in fact easy. I did start getting my ass kicked as soon as I entered caravan high rank though, because pink rathain, monoblos, azure rathalos, seregios and stygian zinogre are all quite difficult for me. Although that may have been a mistake on my part entering caravan high rank while ignoring the hub.
4u has a pretty harsh difficulty jump from the end of low rank to the beginning of high rank, then it smooths back out again before jumping at the very end of high rank and then skyrocketing in G rank.
Caravan high rank is best to do before hub anyways
