As a frequent mobile user, I'm often frustrated by how long it takes to load certain things in the game. Three things come to mind right away: wardrobe, trade creation or gifting, and the Monkey Business.

I visit the Monkey Business on a regular basis - once per day on both accounts to sell excess food, and several times during the day to buy Opal Saltlicks and Rock Salts for my projects. As I spend much of my time on mobile most days, the load times can really feel outlandish. Especially if I buy the Opal Saltlicks and forget about the Rock Salts, having to load it all over again.

As far as I know, the reason it takes so abysmally long to load is because, in addition to loading the various items available for purchase, it also loads the entirety of a player's sellable hoard at the same time. I tend to hang on to a lot of junk items in case a new craftable decor or app is released, so it always takes a monumentally long time to load for me.

My proposed change would separate the monkey business into two different pages - one to buy items, and one to sell. The buying page would be the first one to show up when clicking into the Monkey Business from Crossroads, and there would be a button where the selling area is now that would lead to a new page to sell your hoard items.

This way, players who just want to buy something don't have to wait to load their hoard. It feels bothersome to spend time loading the selling section if you're not even using it. It would be an extra button to press if you do want to sell items, but I think it would overall be a positive change - especially for mobile users.

Support, not a mobile user but during June with all those items, opening Monkey Buisness was an OUCH. I wonder why people not support, that'd make life easier.

I am a primary mobile user and I have a pretty large hoard but it doesnt take an abnormal amount of time for me to load MB. I do support though! Just because I might not have a loading issue, I understand many others do. I think that maybe instead of having the shop open first, you have to pick which ever you want to do, enter the shop or enter the selling area. That way no one can be upset they have to click an extra button to sell their items, while those who want to buy items dont have to. I usually use monkey business for selling food anyways. I rarely ever buy items there.

I'd be happy with that. For reference, does it take you longer to load the wardrobe? Or do you load both of them fairly easily? I haven't counted the amount of time it takes me for either of them, but maybe I should. Just to compare :p

Wardrobe takes forever so me! I avoid it as much as I can because of it. MB isnt an instant load in for me, it just doesnt take longer than 30 secs. Same with create a trade. I do have a lot of my random, seasonal crafting, junk buried at the moment as well. Idk if that helps with it.

I might be impatient! I want to load in about as fast as Oasis when I'm buying stuff.

Honestly I can understand that! Sometimes I am the same way lmao. Especially if I am in a rush to do something.

It seems that the section that takes the most time to load in Monkey Business is the Nesting Material Crafting with its thousands of herbs. Maybe it should be separated in the first place.

That could be it too. It's a strange place to have nesting crafting to begin with, so I wouldn't mind if that got moved.
