First up, we have an answer to the problem of no-shows for the throne of Edania contest, along with 30 million silver from everyone who doesn't want to attend. An excellent improvement.

Better loot from super-endgame Edania zones. Great for the tiny minority of the playerbase who are able to grind there efficiently.

Landscape paint drop rate increasing, a solid improvement. We will soon learn how much effect a 1.15 times (or similar) drop increase for paint has. I hope it's much more than it appears, as 1 paint every 3 hours is far too little (many people report that kind of rate).

Various quality of life improvements, especially for Bamboo Legion. There's a little lack of clarity here, but if the idea is that if you leave the circle Bamboo Legion Commander heath doesn't reset, that's a good idea.

Tigris barter moving away from Tigris fishers is a solid change. Mount teleporting closer is also good, same for fishing chair being out not nerfing autofishing, overall many solid quality of life changes.

PA continues the pattern from the previous week of avoiding major changes (either those helpful or harmful to overall game health), but instead makes limited reforms that show a willingness to slowly move in the right direction. Many minor changes can become significant improvements, so I hope PA continues going in this direction. Especially for increasing paint droprates, this change had a lot of player support, we will check in again to give feedback about whether the paint droprate improvement was meaningful or not.

Even if the overall state of the game is in a rough place, I believe in giving credit where credit is due, so there is grounds for the developers to hope that playerbase and revenue with turn around if they continue to go in the right direction. That way we improve the odds of seeing more popular changes down the line.

Got two DSR paints, one after 8h and one after 10h all with 320% drop unfortunately this is not useful for me anymore as I already have the treasure but why not selling them or converting for the one we need? Increasing the drop for these means they mess up with this paint from the beginning and the numbers were wrong from start, so every improvement is just correcting the mistakes and bad decisions taken. Well done KR for giving hard stuff to do then wait few months then make them easier, clasic.
