Square Root 3 counted the number of people who were awarded Skill Points; there was a total of seven players.
This was an indication of how rare Skill Points truly were.
Lu Li shared the quest he was doing, but only a few hundred players could accept it.
The remaining tens of thousands of players who were fighting in Jintha'Alor went their separate ways. Lu Li took the few hundred players to the Altar of Zul on a quest to find the Elder Trolls. It wasn't clear what the Elders were thinking when they saw all those players, but their faces were blue anyway.
Lu Li guessed that they probably suspected that all these players were there to kill them.
The quest that Lu Li had shared wasn't a Main Quest. When the little bit of EXP was distributed, Lu Li received the biggest portion. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered with these elders.
Regardless, the Tribe had a good relationship with the Horde and he was basically hurting the Horde by doing this.
