Why don't the monsters synch in MHFU?

The bosses synch when I play multiplayer with a friend, but the common monsters will not.

If this is intentional or not a problem only afflicting me; it's kind of seems like lazy programming, and is my only major fault with this title.

For example, I'll be killing a monster on my screen, but to my friend it looks like I'm just slashing the air. Or I'll see a monster attacking/charging my friend, but on his screen he (the monster charging him) is just grazing in the field.

It's always been like that, helps keep the network data small and dedicated for the players/bosses.

Lol, when I picked up Freedom Unite (my first MH game...amazing game, I've clearly been missing out) I was wondering about this too. Yeah, they probably do this to lighten the network load, and it seems later in the game it doesn't really impact the game as much when you are hunting elders or 2 large monsters anyway since the lesser monsters don't spawn often if at all anyway...and if anything it makes for some amusing moments...completely missing on a swing and saving your buddy's life on his screen, or my fav, rapid firing a monster on your screen that isn't there on your friend's and inadvertently lighting them up...good stuff!
