New gamified “puzzles” approach is annoying.

I prefer the old puzzles format with the approximated elo ratings. Why did chess.com switch to this new format? What’s the benefit? What’s next - will you start earning virtual gold that you then use to get hints in the puzzles penalty fee? Then start selling that gold so players can use it to purchase vacation time, in game hints …. Nooooo please don’t go this way. Chess.com has always been about the game of chess please don’t create an in-game economy to make more money. Maybe I’m being paranoid but it just feels like this is where “puzzles” is headed.

You can disable the Puzzle Path feature using the settings icon at the top of the feature.

This is from Android but it's located at the top top right of the screen when in the feature.
