I think a pet should automatically become epic when all of its ability scores become maxed out. This means the higher a pets ability scores are the longer it should take to get the pet to epic, but something like a unicorn wouldn't take so long. Contrarily, the journey from ancient to epic could just be cut in half. I find it very upsetting when I spend a week or two taking a pet from ancient to epic to wind up with a talent that simply ruins the pet.
Yes the journey is definitely a long one, especially for those of us that can not stand nor have time to play the pet games in order to train the pet. I find myself spending way to many crowns on mega snacks as not to have to play the godawful pet games. Call it adhd or whatever, but I don't have the patience for it. Maybe KI could change it so after every fight we have we can give the pet a snack or something. I am not asking for automatic epic, but there has to be more creativeness then just the pet games for training.
