So the point of the Pet Derby is to get tickets to get...more pets. Really? that's it?!
How bout some Snack Rewards or better yet a little bit of Pet Exp for each win.
As it stands there's really no point to Race your pet and the wait times to get a ranked race are starting to prove that.
I have tried over and over to play pet derby,most of the time after waiting it seems forever I drop out. I have only raced in the ranked derby about 3 times. Some how the wait needs to be shorter.Maybe make it where players can play created races just like we fight the bosses.
