The AR grind in Sunbreak is really bothersome to me. I feel like I'd be playing the game a lot more without it. I like both Rise and Sunbreak much more than Worldborne, but I'm playing the newer games much less because I don't wanna feel like I'm getting derailed from a tedious grind that's going to be even longer because I'm farming the Risen elders instead or some other non-afflicted monster. Simultaneously, if I want to get any low ranking afflicted materials, my grind progress is immensely halted. My current AR level is 126 or so. I saw that the research target is Lunagaron with a 1.4 bonus so I decide why not. But my current Lunagaron quest is only level 100. So I do it and with the bonus I get about 420 or so AR points. A level appropriate Tigrex quest without bonus gives me something like 650 points. So I'm being pushed towards grinding the same few monsters I have properly leveled quests for rather than expand and do other things within that sphere. I need afflicted thickhides for a weapon upgrade. My Izuchi quest is level 65. It starts dropping them at level 100. It's not a long hunt, but it's going to give me almost nothing in exp and I'm going to be lucky as hell to get 10 level ups per hunt based on previous experience. More likely around 5 or 7.

It feels extremely like I'm being funneled down a particular path of endless repetition to get anywhere with it.
