As a Monster Hunter fan I've wanted the Rathalos mount since I saw it was in the game, but only recently felt confident enough to actually attempt the EX fight. The only problem is I have pretty bad anxiety, and doing PF groups stresses me out a lot because I don't know the people. I did it about a month ago with a few friends on the same data center and we managed to complete it twice in like 20 attempts, but that's obviously not very fun. I used PF the other day to get a group together and got 3 clears in 3 attempts, but I was so stressed the entire time because at least one person said they'd just leave if we wiped even once. And duty finder isn't an option, I tried that, and people went in without even knowing what to do.

I figured when ShB came it could be done unsynced and my (less skilled) friends would have an easier time doing it with me, but it's pretty disheartening to see it's still the same as it was. The idea of doing it 50 times just to get enough scales to buy it outright exhausts me just to think about it.

I like how the fight is because it's very much like MH compared to the rest of the content in this game, so it makes it a really neat crossover. But even in MH you can do things with 4 people or you can do them solo. The multiplayer experience in MH is also very much like in this fight, where everyone else dies and I fail the fight despite never dying at all.

Are they really never going to let those ones be done unsynced?
