I think totally getting rid of it is a bit extreme, but they reeeeally need to fix up a few things, i.e. getting rid of the stupid Neofriend module, making some things which used to be smaller and less noticeable (e.g. fishing and jobs and battles won in your pets' page)

And fixing up some of the hideous pet revamps, not to mention releasing some actually CLOTHES for this new customisation, I mean, its all well and good for those people whose pets have clothes already as part of their paintbrush, but the point was to let us dress-up our pets, which cause we have nothing to use yet (not even simple hats or t-shirts in primary colours!) we can't do, so it really undermining this wonderful new feature for me.
But yeah, it still needs much work before many of us here with accept it.
