I'm a college student with barely any free time so spending hours in Adopt Me trading servers just doesn't fit my schedule. But I still want to enjoy the game with decent pets. My roommate who also plays showed me their efficient solution. Through
https://starpets.gg/adopt-me, I can grab what I need between classes in literally minutes. No time investment beyond choosing what you want. I've picked up a few legendaries this semester and my enjoyment of the game hasn't suffered despite barely playing. The global player base includes lots of busy people and this approach respects your time. When I do occasionally trade in-game, it's for fun, not necessity. Separating the shopping from the social actually makes both better.
