I wish there was a way to trade something for it because it is still a chance to get it when you trade a 40 lvl. pet and the odds are still against it. I really want to collect the special pets but getting gold DNA feels impossible sometimes.

Any chance in increasing the ammount of friends we can have or is that not possible. I'll consider increasing the number of Runes you can carry in your inventory, however that limit is there to encourage players actually utilize their runes instead of ignore the system. I added the Disenchant All button so you can easily make room in your inventory, so that's always an option if you're approaching the limit, but don't want to take the time to craft new runes. I think 250 in-game friends is already too many friends, and that's also more than enough friends for your maximum amount of Friend Whacks. If you're finding you have inactive friends and would like to add new friends that are more active, you can use the Purge Inactive Friends button to make room and prune off any that aren't contributing. Friend Whacks aside, you can already request energy packs from your platform friends, which can be a lot more players than the in-game limit.

I'll consider offering the pet/mount by itself, separate from these packages.

More ways to acquire pets and mounts are things I'm considering for the Zoo update. I'll note this to consider. 2) Delaying the start of the contest and, perhaps, increasing the minimum amount of items would help better filter out those sparse submissions. I've noted this for next year.

I wish there was a way to trade something for it because it is still a chance to get it when you trade a 40 lvl. pet and the odds are still against it. I really want to collect the special pets but getting gold DNA feels impossible sometimes. The Unique DNA is intended to be very special, typically reserved for premium type pets. This is why the odds to get it from a basic/event/misc pet are so low. I'll consider perhaps letting you trade up to a Unique DNA for a rather large sum of the other DNA types, so you can at least put your other DNA to use that way if it is your goal. This has been suggested in the past as well.
