Li Yao's decision truly caught everyone by surprise, as many guild leaders understood that while one piece of Golden Dress might be important for a player, it was of little significance to a guild.
They created a ruckus for a simple reason—to make life difficult for Starfire, especially the guilds that bore grudges against Starfire, who were especially active in fanning the flames.
They didn't even want Starfire to distribute the Golden Dress, not to start a war with Starfire, but merely to make other players and guilds dislike Starfire, which was their goal.
So when Li Yao said he would distribute the equipment, some people didn't stop, but rather continued with various insults and slanders.
Criticisms were loud, such as "Starfire is trash, who gives them the right to distribute only eight pieces?" and "We all worked on the boss; the loot should be distributed to everyone."
