Chess.com should just create a classical rating and divide 10+0 from 30+0, because they are objectively different time controls.
However, from what I saw so far, the level of players (patzers) is pretty much the same in both time controls...
Yes and no. The site is working on that as we speak, but you might find some are vastly better in classical than speed chess.

I played every possible time control on multiple sites ( basically every single chess platform you can find), personally i didn't find a significant difference in chess knowledge between 10 minutes players and 30 minutes players... pretty much same patzers (me included) and same strategical and positional mistakes. Even though i've to say 30 minutes are harder because there are less "game losing blunders", therefore every game is more energy demanding.

Well I played a 2000 USCF and lost in 10+0 though we agreed we're evenly matched in blitz, so that proves my point.

I played a 2000 USCF in 120 d/5 and he hung a piece on move seventeen and resigned.

Ah same with my person except we're both in hs lol
Aghhhhhh I really need to get lazy and better at positional play...
I mean I'm just really good at avoiding things I don't like, to the point where my dad specifically complains that whenever I encounter something difficult I just shy away and avoid it entirely

wtf
In one tournament I was walking around looking at games, and one 2100 vs 2100 game a player blundered a piece on move 15 or so to a simple pawn fork heh.
Obviously not common, but crazy stuff happens.
Anand has that infamous game where he blundered a piece in the opening and resigned before move 10.
Chess is hard and humans are dumb... thankfully our opponents are humans too, so they have the same problems we do 
I just reached 2000 in rapid thanks to 10.0 game time. I've played for years 10/15 and and lost many times because of slow thinking players, inconsistent in moves, waiting some times 9-10 min for them to move and became inpatient, realising that chess is very boring. Than I discovered 10.0 game which eliminated all the tricks from slow thinking players and become fun again.
Congratulations, a 2000 rating at any time control is a fantastic achievement, and nobody else can take that away from you.
well said.
same with a chess title, its something earned and no one can ever take your honor away
Definitely agreed,2000 rapid is definitely not something that is easily achieved and most people might just stop playing chess before they even reach 2000 rapid rating,anyway cograts for being able to achieved it,all the best !!!
