#bonus exp for "hard" options

It is not a difficulty option.

yeah some people actually prefer to play without shadows—it can help with finesse training massively

I was having hesitation issues due to confirming a shape/placement using the shadow as a visual reference.
Having shadows off for a while helped stop that habit and increased speed

I am a new player. And for new players it's definitely kinda cheating feature which leads to addiction to play with it (which is bad in long perspective). It's better to motivate player to move away from this feature by giving bonus exp for it.

not to be rude but considering you're a new player you shouldn't try to force your beliefs on the modern tetris community
piece shadows are a mandated mechanic by the tetris company in all modern tetris games. if it's somehow cheating and you trust their word then i don't get it—it's only an accessibility feature to make visualization and hard dropping easier

"lining up the piece just right" isn't rly meant to be an element of difficulty
