While the Azuz Greeting glitch may be treated as just a meme, it is a direct violation of the Monster Hunter Wilds EULA, which is why many considered it problematic. According to article 8.1.6 of the EULA, \u201can act of intentionally using a defect in the Program\u201d is strictly prohibited. But just as the back-and-forth among Japanese players on social media was heating up, Capcom stepped in with April 15 the fix and warning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of the recent update, the Azuz greeting glitch cannot be triggered anymore.
