Just a thought I was having, since there are many villages in this game, it would be cool if while traveling from place to place there would be about a 40% chance tht the caravan would spot a monster, the main thing that would seperate these run ins from normal hunting quests is that you could run into monsters that are above your rank, so a tier 2 hunter could be attacked by a rathalos, the run ins would be completly avoidably by choosing not to persue the monster, but elder dragons would be very common to run into this way since there very nomadic and dont tend to stay in place very long, but that way you and some frineds could go after a rathalos or rathian at tier 1 or 2 if you lucked out and ran into one
