Does anyone know why or is this normal or anyone else getting this? This is what I don't get. A few events ago, I was around 1300 points. I spent 500 ISO trying to find a decent match (50+ attempts) and every opponent was worth 2-3 points. Yet, I could see that there were other players already over 1800 points. How is that even possible?

Nah, we have targets for the proportion of players we expect to get each progression reward. If that drops significantly and stays under the target, we'd adjust the progression rewards (as we've done before).

Let me propose an alternative: put matchmaking back the way it was, and just make the top progression reward 1800. This way all the high-end PvP guys can continue doing what they do, and everyone else doesn't get screwed.

If the issue was the difficulty of getting progression rewards, we'd just change those directly.
