so when the site was smaller, having everything crammed into one tiny shop worked fine. but now we have hundreds if not thousands of items to collect, and for instance, cooking 1 recipe takes me 8 months because it genuinely takes that long for the 1 ingredient i need to happen to spawn in the mole market. if i have a particular site apparel item i need, it's the same issue of several months until i get lucky enough that it exists. and finding something that other users are selling is either impossible (none for sale) or horribly gouged prices. i'm basically unable to play the game or do anything on the site without waiting a year to get lucky, or being forced to spend real money i don't have to try to buy it off a reseller. i'd love to have a dedicated apparel shop that refreshes every hour or whatever and has like 10 different apparel items for sale; the same with food, materials, etc. if not dedicated shops, can we expand the offerings so it's more than 5 at a time? can the mole market refresh once an hour instead of every 5-6?

apparently, many items (like sugar cane) are ONLY available from the mole market and cannot even be found as drops from explore/companions/gauntlet/etc. that seems totally unfair to the userbase. i've never gotten a single sugar cane in NINE MONTHS OF PLAYTIME. that's insane.

ideas:
- separate 'shops' (don't need NPCs!)
- separate pages, tabs, or sections (one for apparel, one for companions, etc)
- more items of each type available at once (like 20 apparel instead of 5)
- more stock of stacked items (like seeds, so you can plant a set of 4 at least)
- item stock refreshes more often (like once per hour)
- every single shop item stock is permanently available (might cause image lag)
- fix item availability (example - make sugar cane a drop from explore/gauntlet/companions)

I'm not sure if I support separate shops for everything, that might be a bit much, but yeah, the stock in each area really needs to be increased if nothing else.

It took me... I think 3 months to get the last metal cuffs recipe I needed. That's a bit ridiculous.

I don't think entirely different shops is necessary, but we do need to stop putting everything onto a single page. Because the devs try to cram onto a single space, there's only so many items that can stock at any given time. If the Mole Market would be divided up into different sections (similar to now, but then with a separate page for each section), almost in the way that FR did it (I know a lot of people tend to hate these comparisons, but you can't deny that their system for a market really allowed for the vast expansion of items in-game while at the same time making it relativaly navigate-able for users) it would automatically allow for room for additional items stocking.

I also agree that the amounts of items you can purchase (so 16 peanut seeds vs only 5 potato seeds) need to be A. increased and B. streamlined. All older seeds can be purchased in 4 multiples of the requirement to farm them. The newer ones, for some reason are all capped at 5. However, many of them require 3 seeds to be planted, meaning that even if I buy out all potato seeds, I can still only plant it once..

i genuinely do not care if they are separate "shops" or just separate "pages". the only difference would be another npc to "run" it but nobody really cares about that.

its just tiring when its impossible to obtain items, not out of rarity but because the site is still coded like theres only 100 items to rotate thru. we need to be able to have more choices at once, more chances for that particular item we need to actually be stocked. and when it is, like seeds, in quantities that make sense. it shouldnt take 3 weeks to get 4+ of the same seed just to be able to use the sites functions. 🙃

Support.

I don't care how they go about it, I just want better access to items.
