Will getting Iceborne make the platinum harder?

I'm a little late to the MHW party and want to get Iceborne for the new weapons and weapon attacks. Will purchasing Iceborne make the grind for the platinum harder? I know for certain games, like Binding of Isaac for instance, the platinum became harder with each expansion. For instance, in Binding of Isaac it made finding all of the Rebirth items harder because the RNG pool of items was expanded. Is there anything in MHW: Iceborne that makes getting the original trophies more difficult?

They're treated as separate games.  And there was a patch added like halfway through World's run that made it so you only need the monsters included in the launch for the Size, research, whatever trophies.

There’s two separate platinums one for world and one for Iceborne. If anything it makes getting the platinum easier because you can use icebornes armor and weapons to kill the monsters in world faster which makes getting the crowns easier. The crowns are still difficult to get though. You should get it it’s a great expansion in my opinion.

I believe it makes it easier since you get access to clutch claw for easier damage
