I like everything about Duolingo except the gamification. I don't care about XPs, gems, leagues, quests and all that. It's become excessive. It takes around 20 seconds after each lesson to see and pass through all the gamification features' updates and to open the chests and all that. That's a lot of wasted time after many lessons. It should be optional. There should be opt-out options in the settings, as already there are for motivational phrases and sound effects.
