Palico paintballs - paying money shouldn't feel punishing

提案/Suggestion

With introduction of extreme hunter pass it’s now possible to have up to 8 daily palico paintballs. However, amount of steps required to fill them in seems to be unchanged. It’s already annoying to fill in 5 paintballs with former hunter pass. Sometimes it stucks for some reason and pretty often I cannot make Palico to trigger all 5 balls with less than 10k steps.

Buying hunter pass feels punishing and pressuring. All 5 (prime pass), 6 (extreme pass) or 8 (prime+extreme pass) paintballs should be filled in in approximately as many steps as 3 paintballs do with no pass. So with each pass the distance needed to trigger paintball capture should decrease.

現状/Current Status

Palico paintballs feel punishing when I pay money for hunter pass as I need to do way more steps to fill them in than without pass. It’s fairly common that I need to walk more than 10k steps to fill 5 of them. Now it’s possible to have up to 8 balls and I cannot imagine how much more walking I would have to do for it. Just today I already have 10k steps as I walk way more due to Kirin event and Palico only captured 4 monsters out of 8. This feels unrewarding and punishing. I’ll definitely won’t buy one of the passes anymore as there’s no benefit. Only punishment.

//edit: see screenshots in comments to see how insane this is.

Niantic, you cannot be serious.

28k steps done today. Over 20 kilometres. Only 6 out of 8 paintballs triggered. Wtf?
