I think the devs probably thought having light traffic made for a better looking video.

That sounds awesome, I don't normally like discord but I'll definitely get on there. I appreciate it :)
Fair enough, I usually just use Google photos to move screenshots to my phone, but it takes a bit longer and I don't think anyone actually cares.
I heard there's a workaround. You can deposit everything normally, unequip the backpack from the bank (there's an inventory viewer on the top left), then right click the backpack and click "use". It should empty it. I haven't tried it myself though.

The most efficient skilling methods also seem circular. If I want to grind x I should level y, but I need z to be efficient. And to get z I need to grind x. There's also what feels like a lack of skilling options listed. Sometimes I want to do "dead content" for the fun of it.
I'm definitely just a noob, but discovering new stuff to do is hard sometimes. I also am aware that I'm contradicting myself a bit by wanting a more efficient guide but also wanting dead content lol. But anyway, are there any resources available that might help me out?
Lol still can't escape the picture of the screen instead of a screenshot. Heck yeah on getting it
I noticed a lot of the time when someone posts that they finished a ridiculously long grind, half the comments are calling them mentally ill. It doesn't matter to them that people have had a decade to grind, or that some people really are just happy with spending a large part of their lives playing this game.
