is there a way i can revert back?
As to painting, read the patch notes. Selling out for painting makes you earn less, unless you take a break to paint for skill instead. Really, I find just about any other option is better. I've never liked painting.
Anyway, I'm not aware of any way to revert. Just read the patch notes like I said if you want to keep making money with painting.
It was broken mechanic before it was nerfed. Now it reasonable.
Honestly it all depends G&G are better for making money overall outside of the priest or medium jobs
Painting *used* to be great. Now it's merely quite good for part of the game.
"A lot of drawbacks" - no, not really. You can handle up to five Notoriety by using four to paint and holding the fifth whenever the Menace or whatever it's called is looking for another card. Or you can use three to paint and leave the fourth on the board to timers count down &c.
Even if you mess up, typically you're only going to get Evidence of some sort. Which you can get rid of in various ways, including just letting the timer on the Evidence expire, which I can confirm is still something you can do in-game if you're careful.
Plus painting is how you're going to hold a lot of different cards so their timers don't expire.
Plus painting you can switch in and out of - granted Notoriety can be an issue if you have a lot of it and the Menace is on board. But it's not like G&G (though I haven't done G&G for a while, the way G&G used to work and maybe still does, you *can't stop* G&G or there are penalties.)
As it is, I don't think you really need to hold timers that much, and why deal with Notoriety if you don't have to, and you're really not making much gold which you need to buy books so these days painting is just okay. I still think you use painting while you're trying to boost all your stats to max, but even then that might not be really necessary what with books that can give you "Lessons Learned" for Erudition and Passion or whatever those attributes are called.
Because they wanted an answer to their questions of course. It was a reasonable question, and a reasonable reply.
If the original post stipulated they wanted the best way to make money while still painting, what if that locked them out of the best income? So they shouldn't have stipulated that in the first place.
Hypothetically what if there was one practice they could do that would increase their income while not drastically altering the way they played the game? Or what if there were a short-term solution they could employ? Or what if they merely needed to use more efficient practices by using a variation of what they had been doing already (rather than completely changing their practices?)
Isn't that hypothetical scenario a reasonable guess at what the original poster may have intended? I think it is.
But receiving the reply that G&G is the best money maker, they didn't like that response for various reasons (and why not? if G&G locks down your work verb then it does sort of suck you know?) and they didn't get any response that satisfied what they were looking for (say they were looking for a way to make money but also do other things they wanted to do with the Work verb), then for them to ask if there's a way to roll it back, well, reasonable enough.
As to reading patch notes on painting - what patch notes specifically are advising how to keep making money on painting anywhere on the level it used to? I read the patch notes, and if it's there I didn't find it.
@OP: I'm not sure but I'd guess there's probably a way to edit your save file so you have loads of gold. Probably best to try to figure out a way to get gold in-game so you get the experience of the game as the developer intended, but if you find the process of making gold too tedious, well - it's a single player game, if you're editing your personal files so you can personally enjoy the game you spent your money on, and if you're not violating Terms of Service or anything like that (which I don't think you would be), then hey, right?
