I see. So it wasn't just me.

Well, I guess you can't blame people for not wanting to play as a subordinate. It kind of denotes some sort of inferiority compared to a guardian. If it was a subordinate who had the chance of becoming a guardian, that would be a different story. At least that would at least promise you with some sort of reward in the long run if you work hard enough. Anyway, I guess I'll stop now.
