7 hours…
Even if there was all sorts of encouragement from Unforgettable Maple and the other supporters, players were starting to leave in large quantities.
Nearly everyone had died once before, though it wasn't uncommon to have died seven or eight times. Even though Epic equipment often dropped out of nowhere, the majority of players hadn't seen it for themselves, let alone touched it. As such, they had started to become discouraged.
The main issue was that it was so tiring!
"I can't play this game anymore. There's no end to killing these insects."
They still saw no end even though it had been 8 hours of continuous fighting. Anyone would be feel both mentally and physically drained.
Hence, large quantities of players started to retreat.
"We've helped Ruling Sword fight for so long. We've done as much as we possibly can. They won't give us anything good after completing the quest, so why should we still continue to help them?"
