Ok, this sounds vague, and apologies if it's bee mentioned before, I wasn't sure how to search for this either...

I have noticed that things such as a pet's energy, explore turns and such, reset their hourly timer every time you use said resource.

For example: my pet is due to get +1 energy at 1:45, but if at 1:30 I take my pet out to explore, suddenly the next +1 energy will be due at 2:30
Now, this may affect me more than more casual players, as I quite often find myself clicking around waiting for my pets to be able to explore again, but this feels a bit wasteful, as it can prolong your wait by almost an hour, if you have bad luck on your timing.

I'm not sure if there is a reason for this to be the way it is - but I'd like to toss out the idea of maybe replenishing these kinds of things at a set time, rather than based off of the last use of the resource.

I posted this as a bug report before and Angel responded.

A pet should have a full hour of rest to regain energy. If we wake up a man at 3AM, force him to run 3 miles and let him sleep further, he won't wake up rested at the morning (and we will hear everything that he thinks about us). The same thing happens with pets.

Aha, I see, that puts it in a whole other light and makes perfect sense!

That is literally the best example ever. I love Angel's response. "(and we will hear everything that he thinks about us)."
