This seems like a really big problem to me. I tried searching lemmy for it, but have not found anything conclusive.
I found a post or two claiming that the issue is that the API is implemented using websockets only, so it’s not as simple as just turning it off. I really hope that is not the case, since I currently can’t read anything on the frontpage that takes more than a few seconds!
Sorry, but this made me belly laugh :D
I also assumed that quest was the end, went exploring and got the sword/mineru “too early”. I did think it was weird that I had to bruteforce my way through opaque fog there at one point…
