Thing is for any non-porcelain adventurer goblin slaying is basically charity. Sure some still do it, but majority just go for better paid job instead so porcelain rankers are mostly only ones [I]willing[/I do ] this kind of job.

I'm not sure whether this counts as spoilers, but a lot of these questions or problems are covered in the next few chapters, or at least kind of explained. Let's just say that even the normal scenes in town aren't quite as stable as they look. Porcelain rookies trying and failing the goblin quests might still be better than nothing.

Underground creatures also often have "light sensitivity" which causes them to become dazed when exposed to strong light sources. Goblins aren't light sensitive in D&D, but the way Goblin Slayer made use of the Light spell in this episode seems to suggests they are in this story, at least temporarily. Quote:
This changes a lot of things. Goblins and Goblinoids in general are seen as mostly evil creatures in fantasy settings, but not so evil that they warrant a systematic extermination. Generally the various human\elf\dwarf settlements hate and despise them, but they are fine if they just stay in their territories. The need to impregnate other humanoids however means that goblins simply cannot exist on their own. This puts them on the same level as vampires and illithids.

Well, that stuff should be talked about next episode. Quote:

Plus, I really doubt anything that the Guild Girl said will change the "Hero" mind at that time. |

I mean yeah it is kinda dumb that there is absolutely no restriction placed on rookies to do jobs way above their capabilities but then again, the very existence of this whole Adventurers guild/quest based system is just bizarre game logic on the whole to begin with. No point in being pedantic about the smaller details.
Though, it does undermine the whole "brutal realism" message when brutal shit happens because of an unrealistic arbitrary system derived from an RPG game mechanic.

As for the guild receptionist girl, what could she have done? The noob party is legitimately qualified for the quest as per the rule of the guild. If anything, The system is at fault for not evaluating the threat level of goblins correctly. A horde of goblins in their nest is way more dangerous and a few couple of them on an open field. Well, on the hand, if they had raised the required rank for killing goblins, few would even take the job

Some people are just that stubborn. They think that they are special and bad things won't happen to them. Just like the "Hero" did in this episode. |

The idea of large scale formalized training for a trade didn't exist in medieval times. They could have a apprentice system, I suppose, but it might be hard to get adventurers to agree.

If you're giving a "brutal realism" message but haven't given the required explanation for it to make any sense, don't be surprised if people don't get it. It's a clear case of putting the cart before the horse. 2) And there is clearly a demand for it.

How are they even rookie adventurers? I mean at least the mage and the cleric went to school to learn their class so why did they know nothing? Their formation was wrong, it should have been fighter, cleric, mage, monk and everyone should have had a torch and a way to light it. Also why did the mage take magic missile instead of sleep,which would have turned any two of those swarming scenes into massacres in the other direction, or if she had to take a damaging spell at least take burning hands since they knew they were heading into a swarming situation. And if the goblins had a sure kill poison why just use it on a couple of dagger instead of their ranged weapons? For that matter if goblins use poison that much why didn't the idiots know about it from hearsay?

It doesn't take more than one episode to avoid this pitfall. All the writer had to do was to replace the Priests message at the end about it being a cruel world with one that questioned the bizarre guild system that allowed this to happen. Heck that may have even killed two birds with one stone.
