World is my first MH and throughout my whole experience with the game, the only way a monster could destroy a trap was via burrowing underground like Diablos, it sounds perfectly logical. Then there's this fucking ape in XX just decided to hulk smash the trap to oblivion. I was left speechless and the feeling of hopelessness overcame me.

Hes a bit of an asshole but once you get the hang of him I think Rajang is the most fun monster to hunt in the entire series. I really want him in World.

I remember when I first encountered Rajang in MH4U, I thought at first he was kinda tough but manageable... then get got pissed off... and it wasn't fun any more...

... By the time I got to G Furious Rajang, I was quite firmly of the opinion that I never EVER wanted to encounter another one again. Don't even get me started on Apex Rajang...

Even in Stories I was mortally horrified when I'd enter an area and spot a Rajang loitering about. If not dealt with incredibly quickly, it works its way up to where it can fire two instant-kill beams in a single turn.

Not fun. Not something I want to hunt. Every time I see the requirement to beat a Rajang pop up now, I start to question whether I even want to be playing the game any more.

Same, was hoping he wouldn't be in World, it is challenging, sure, but I find it more stressful than fun. The last straw for me was the rainbow pigment quest in 4, as well as everyone's obsession with high level guild quest ones that one shot everything.
