The thrill is in the pursuit of the best weapons and armor sets, i want to say, which in turn requires you to do many different quests to acquire your materials. Each new weapon or armor is a well-earned reward, and lets you move on to the next thing, either because of how the weapon tree itself works or how you may need something new to fight a new monster standing in the way of your character's rank progression.
The fights are exciting enough to keep the whole process from becoming dull, even if you are running the same monster ad nauseum.

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
