The interest isn't there and I know it isn't because I've had to remind my friends to come hunt each week, which I've never had to do for any other MH game we've played together. I got as far as unlocking the HR cap for good before stopping because the story wouldn't fuck off and the game made it clear they expected me to hunt tempered monsters all day so I put the game down and went back to the Freedom trilogy and Rise. I may return to Wilds when the expansion gets announced, but right now there's nothing worth a damn.

Wilds has the same level of boring World and Iceborne did, but at least I was able to handle the boring thanks to having friends to talk and hunt with.
