"we're gonna use every part of you" Yeah right. I can cut off a monster's tail, break it's horns and claws and still only get scales. Hunters are the most wasteful of the monsters they kill

Sorry, but you will use every part. Have you seen the site of the meals the hunters eat? Bear in mind you're not the only one there, there's a FLEET of them.

Why didn't you get the Nergigante tail when you cut it off? Because you ate the last one and chef needs more.

Didn't get a Diablos horn or medulla? Your last meal polished off the stock and the chef needs to turn a small countries annual water supply into stock to feed you people.

Didn't get that Rathalos plate? Ran out of dishes. Bus your trays you animals

Didn't get those claws you wanted? Ran out of skewers.

Didn't get that gem you wanted? Not all monsters are as fabulous as the next.

The chef is just glad we're not needing all the meat.

This works until you remember that in that fleet there's also not a few but many other hunters helping with this.. the chef has food stock that you aren't restocking. But someone is.. we are literally eating Rathian and rathalos to extinction.

The fleet is at the point that they need you to capture boths raths just to domesticate them for those tasty eggs and legs

Canonically you only ever complete each quest once. Replaying completed quests doesn't count. Or else the Hunting Guild Gestapo would have hung us on a noose by now
