Many thanks for your suggestion and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.
In general, some degree of gamification can be good, but we need to be careful not to go too far - for example, we would not want to do anything that encouraged an athlete to train when it would be better for them to be resting etc.
It's therefore an area we will certainly be looking at, but at this stage it's unclear what changes we may or may not make.

IMO, any "gamification" should be tied to training/fitness gains (Training Peaks IS a real training service, after all), not km's ridden, etc. The cartoonish gamification of Zwift has always put me off. I'm also of the opinion that virtual racing should keep as many things as equal as possible, like some forms of auto racing in which the driver makes the difference because the cars are the same. If I ride most of my miles outside, why should I be penalized if I choose to race occasionally because I haven't "earned" sweet equipment?

For anyone who doesn't have a laptop up close, a companion app is key and critical. This upgrade would be appreciated, especially for subscribing users!

I'm all in on the Garmin ecosystem and dislike the direction Strava has gone recently as a "middle man." I'm glad to see this is planned.
