I enjoy Monster Hunter, so having to do a certain number of missions to get access to a new area is really nothing new or bothersome to me, chances are most of them can get done just from regular progression in the playthrough. I don't get why having areas gated is a big deal either, it's no different than past pokemon games that kept you from accessing new areas until you got the right HM or story progression.
