Tactics training is a joke!

In this month, I played free 5 tactic training per day and I am now struggling to climb from 2050+. My blitz and bullet rating is around (2000-2100). The problem is that most of those tactics requires me to think 2-4 mins. I passed  around with 80% success. However, when i passed i usually score only 50% ( 1-2 marks only ) and when i fail , i lose 6-7 marks . Most puzzles took me more than twice average time and average time are around 1-2 minutes. How come this is possible? Then I look at the top two global rated players whose rating are 4800+ and 4400+. Wow. And then I look at their puzzles which are also wows!! 3000+ puzzles and they scored 100% of those puzzles with average time 15 to 20 seconds.Wow again.  And then I look at their rating and see 1800+ and 2100+  only, Wow again. So I am more than 100% sure that they are using software to solve those training. I dont mind if they use it or not. But counting their time to honest players's time stat is a joke. As these people use software and their time is counted as stats and honest players only score 50%. So Plz, chess.com, as you are not detecting cheaters, please remove average time stat and time penalty.

The O guy went from 1727 to 5459 in Tactics and it took him all of 2-1/2 months.

Gee, he must be really smart.
You think?

You must know you can't make accusations like that in the forum. Edit your post to take the names out so that this thread doesn't get locked.

I doubt that a few people like that substantially affect the average time. 

Meanwhile, you have a nearly endless supply of tough problems you get to play for free.

Doesn't seem like a tragedy to me.

He's an NM with no FIDE title.
You would think somebody rated over 5,000 in tactics would have a real title.

@urk. Are you joking?

Those guys have done so many tactics by now they usually memorize them all. See cmuroya or something like that from chesstempo.com.

The A guy went from 1299 to 4855 in Tactics.

But somehow his Blitz is only 1732 and in Bullet he's 823.

Gee, what a disparity.
I wonder how that could happen.

OH. Now you say the whole story. GOOD.

Look at the games those guys played in last few days, it took them around 15 secs to solve  3000+ puzzles 100% correctly. It is clearly beyond human capacity.

I saw some of top players's performance  from chess. tempo that some top players score >95% in 2400+ puzzles and their average time to solve those difficult puzzles is around 5-6 minutes.
