Educational Elements
I for one play this game to escape real life. If I wanted to learn something, I wouldn’t be playing a video game, now would I?
Why virtually run around in game when you can hook up a treadmill to it and run for real? Why not add weight-based physics to the mouse. If you’re wielding a heavy two handed sword, shouldn’t it take two hands to move the mouse?
People play games to escape reality… that usually means escaping everything.
There are already such puzzles in the game if not in abundance.
For example, one of the Asura areas has panels which ask mathematical questions (such as area, volume, next in series)

I didn’t realize this (I’m a Human Thief). This is good news indeed.
As for “escaping real life” I’m not sure why your philosophy to life would be to not be educated at every opportunity. I mean no offence, but I think it’s a sad way to look at life. If I am spending countless hours doing something, it would be great if I walked away from it a little smarter perhaps.
Take Guitar Hero. How many people dedicated hours and hours of their lives to that game and still can’t play guitar. Would those people have been worse off if the game had been designed to help them learn?
Anyway, I’m happy to hear that those puzzles exist in the game, I’m looking forward to trying them out.
