Each person was meant to contribute what they could, this is the reason that you were not told the numbers of items needed. Rusty Knives were for low rl/levels to donate, so they could help. Instead, a god just went and killed a hundred grunts.
It was greed that motivated some of you to donate things like rusty knives when you had the capability to donate other things which were just as needed. Only a few people on the server have Keldrinite. Who did you expect to donate it if not yourself? If you donate the keldrinite, then you can ask and encourage other players to donate the rest of the items. 10 low RLs donate just 10 rusty knives each and that part's done. But you donated the knives, the 1000 titanium, the 2000 estones, 75 paws, 75 anchets swords, 10 triplates, then complain about how much you've already donated when the last item is needed.
This quest was not designed to be completed in a single day, it was designed for people to work together and to give everyone a fair chance at taking part in a large multi-day/week event.
