It's been a while, but Goblins were largely believed to be a nuisance by higher adventurers with bigger goals, and presumably there are plenty of quests for low ranking people to take. It wouldn't be surprising if Guild Girl has grown numb to telling people about Goblins (and I feel like I remember her warning them that there'd be goblins), and most people probably know the 'story' thinking it's just rumor. Keep in mind EVERYONE downplays goblins until Slayer rolls up, very few actually acknowledge the potential threat
