Please Use Chess.com Rating System

I'm A 2800 rated in puzzles and almost always it takes a lot of time to do puzzles 10-15 we're talking about, In Chess.com I'm Like 3500 Rated and Although I like Lichess a lot, It's puzzles rating system is pretty terrible, I sometimes myself do really hard puzzles to just find out that the last move is wrong, this recently happened to me just like 20 mins ago the last move was a ridiculous king move, Please just maybe lower the lost points to maybe I dunno 17 It's just disrespecting serious players that put a lot of time into the puzzles

Note: Disrespecting is not the right word, maybe I am a little too harsh

1. lichess.org/faq#ratings (not sure if same system is used for puzzles)
2. Puzzles are to help your skill, not boost your ego, so rating does not matter. Rating only tells lichess to give you puzzles suitable to your skill and make room for improvement.
chesscom's puzzle rating system is very terrible, it can be inflated indefinitely and it says absolutely nothing about your puzzle skill. They just want to trick you into getting diamond membership so you can get addicted to inflating

already smelling contradiction here. you have 77 games on your account, but almost 5000 puzzles with a rating of 2850 ... oof.

Lichess' puzzle ratings are inflated by 400 or 600 points for many players already. Like, I had 2500 or even 2600 at puzzles while I was 1700 blitz. So if you do puzzles in the range of 1900-2100 (like the dailys) and have 2400+ at puzzles, you're expected to solve almost all of them - otherwise your rating is not justified.

But at least the inflation is not indefinitely, while at chesscom there are people with a puzzle "rating" of 6000+ or 10000+ ... what the sh*t is that?

I meant that "I use a rating as a checkpoint*"
Also my rating is around 2250 sometimes it falls or increases and my puzzle rating is 2850 seems perfectly alright
> I am just saying if someone nearly gets a puzzle right it's unfair to decrease all the points

agreeing with that part. Guess that's the one aspect where Lichess could improve
