@Arcamenel Yeah, MHX is worse in that aspect, way more to do the MH4U. It's horrible for one reason, if it's not your main game you'll always have a lot less than those on every day. It's like you're constantly playing catch up that never ends, complete one set for melee weapons, one for ranged, then you go more specific, a set for a specific weapon, then more specific, a weapon for that weapon and it's type, then that weapon and a style, etc You'll never have everything you want because you'll look at the next guy doing something awesome and want to try his style out, or a youtube video of someone with specific skills that changes your way of thinking completely and you end up using all your resources, now you're low on resourses so you grind... it's a never ending circle. But the game always manages to reward you for all your effort, definitely a huge time sink if you're not careful.

@MisterMan Nuh uh, the new crafting system is way worse for grinding. It's just different for no reason. I imported mhx and its now a material intensive game, way more than before. Really scares you from selling parts for zenny, and you are constantly low on zenny and materials, that's how it feels. Until you reach the highest rank and grind monsters for fun, you won't be able to freely craft anything you like without wasting time grinding. But of course, that doesn't matter as long as you reach the highest rank as soon as possible and go on multiplayer with people. Just hate that they made that incentive even worse, wish they made it so you could take your time with the game without rushing (and trust me, you're in a rush so you don't get ocd on your sets and weapons when it won't matter once you hit a higher rank).

But for newer players it's made the crafting a lot more fun, the newer players are a lot more ignorant to feeling the need to rush the game since they won't feel as bored grinding. And since materials are scarcer, the end game is an endless rewarding grind which is always good for longevity. Just annoying I'm always skint on zenny...
