Quinn was actually planning to head to the other faction in the first place before Blip had asked him. He wanted to see if they were willing to trade his advanced tier and intermediate tier crystals for Glathrium. He just wanted to hunt beasts first and then do the annoying tasks later.
Judging by the way others spoke about the faction, Quinn wasn't looking forward to this interaction. He grew tired of the people who had a superiority complex just for being a higher rank or claiming to have stronger powers.
The fact that the faction was taking advantage because they thought they were a weak rank, was already annoying him. At the same time, he didn't want to cause any meaningless deaths, on either side.
