Exactly. This is why I don't use it. The only thing I can praise the old system for is vocab. The new system seems great because you get a lot more interaction. It uses the Communicative Method of learning, plus you get real tutor time. The price tag is crazy steep though, I agree. I hadn't even looked at that when I made the OP.
