I can understand the frustration about pets. I myself made a post about pets while it was still on testlive. You can see it here. Sadly there was very little response to it at all and well, nothing changed as is evident with the current release. But they did make it clear that pets were going to get worse as part of the revamp, unfortunately they have NOT said what the end results were going to be NOR when we should expect to see said end results.
