Six months passed in the blink of an eye and Quake City along with its citizens have undergone several changes during this time.
Ever since Robin announced that each mission will give out 10% more contribution points, more people started taking missions. Don't look down on such a seemingly small number because for most of the mercenaries, this amount is huge.
One must remember that the people of Quake City aren't the most ambitious, power-hungry, or strongest people in the world. Most people in the city would rather murder or steal their resources rather than do some silly missions that could potentially put their lives at risk.
That's not to say that they won't take missions from the Mercenary Association, just that they would prefer not to do them.
