In general, paint is too hard to get, to the point where it loses its meaning.

Paint concept was great 

But the drop rate makes it worthless 

Why would I go grind for 50 hours at a grind spot that earns half the higher spots to get a couple paints ? 

Ex. Padix 

Lets say I wanna work on merchant ring while grinding orbita..   its very very hard to rationalize spending 50 hours for 500m / hr vs 2 bil/hr. Losing 1.5b per hour 

Just to have a paint. That I can use to grind at a higher spot. 

The concept and idea for paint was great, the actual feasibility of using it is way too low. 

Its rather simple actually. 

Just give out a paint a day like you did when it first came out. Make it part of the standard login reward like loot scroll and loyalties. 

And everyone gets 1 paint per day.

It's just a (very) small bonus for those who are grinding treasure spots anyway.  If you weren't, and the treasure isn't a priority, then neither is the paint.

People want to get treasure items in a realistic amount of time. Paint was supposed to counterbalance the clear speed nerf caused by the 5% cap, to make collecting the treasures more realistic. However, paint droprate is so low that treasure grinding takes significantly longer than it did before the 5% cap. People want to get all the map, compass, ring, and telescope pieces; it would be nice if paint made this process significantly more efficient.

Why no cheer when we get painting?

Absence of cheer is another sign of rushed poor implementation.
