For a short time, the Earth pets had infinite power, and the Fortify Golem simply served to offer a shield to the Crystal or Brick of your choosing. I had thought that was the rare wisdom of recent updates. I STILL had complaints with Earth then. So to later see that this was nothing more than a glitch, and that the pets have returned to requiring meager, limited power maintenance from a non-existent shield is disappointing to say the least. I truly don't expect anything to be done to help Earth or really any other aspect of this game at this point, but was interested to see if anyone even still cared to discuss the problem of Earth or, an even greater issue, the fragility of pets.
I'm still here for Earth and also still waiting for the longest time for that very SIMPE FIX on its Brick's NON-EXISTENT SHIELD.
