Is there something wrong with Lichess' puzzle ratings?

#1

It seems like my puzzle rating is way higher than it should be. I had an old lichess account, @HydroMask, but then I forgot the password and email, so I created a new one. I took about a 6 month break from lichess and came back a few days ago with this new account and it feels like my puzzle score is insanely high. My old lichess account had a 2150 puzzle rating and this one has 2600! The 2600 puzzles even feel easier than the old ones! Is there something I'm missing?

There is definitely something very wrong with the puzzle ratings. But OK: The point is practice, not having a high rating.

I have over 10.000 puzzles with a highest rating of 2847 but I didn't care and ruined it by blitzing out moves without double checking. You usually need about 85% for 2600, 90% for 2800 and 95% for a 3000 rating and of course it depends on how long you think for each puzzle on average.

I often lose the maximum of 30 points for a wrong answer now although I shouldn't since I'm back at about 2300 now.

I remember when starting puzzles in summer I solved the first ones okay and got to 2200 in maybe 25 or 50 puzzles, but scoring +837 points for solving three out of your first four puzzles on your day one seems to be wrong..

@Zinner_Override
It is supposed to work like that, but @FallenSpectre signed up a week ago, so, fully tracing back, how can you get +1069 for (a very good but not close to perfect) 36:8 wins vs. losses? Or do you think the maths may be alright?
