@tercean Oh wow! I have like a tenth of that. But yeah, spending it would be nice, even if it was a bullshit tamagochi pet or flower or whatever. If you want to do the gamification thing, do it right over the top!

@rixx exactly. I used to play Team Fortress, give me hats to buy and I'm fine.

@tercean Last time I used #duolingo, the whole system was different, and now there are these crowns and stuff and no explanation at all. I just found an FAQ megathread about crowns though (lol, srsly), and I'm going to read it like some game walkthrough m)

@tercean So apparently there are five crown levels. See, that is useful information, why don't they put it somewhere? Alongside with an indicator that you raise the level by testing that skill?

I feel that without some suggestion mechanic (practice now, re-take a level, go on to a new lesson etc) learning progress is kind of random and not well-organised.
