Load times during new leagues

I really wish there was an option to reduce the graphical clutter in towns from the MTX of various people during a new league launch. Why do we even have any option to change graphic settings at all? This is always horrible

I second to this. My league start was botched by constant crashes and every town visit loading for almost 5 minutes because some jerks insist on putting every single mtx they own on immediately on league launch. I have tried to adjust shader cache up to 10gb, made a small improvement but now load times are just 2 minutes, meanwhile to hideout and campaign areas and maps I load in 10 seconds.
Loading screens into towns have been ATROCIOUS this league.
POE2 should be the ruthless vision experience and POE1 should be the zoom power fantasy sandbox to capture both audiences.
I petition to return all the fun stuff that was removed or nerfed over the years back into POE1.
