Level after update and rewards don't reflect mastery

 as discussed in another thread : apart from the level 1 bug for platinum players, it l looks like the gained level of basically anyone doesn't reflect the actual mastery point values of the cards mastered. I'll update this tomorrow with actual calculations and comparisons.
Also, the cumulated rewards everyone received are tiered and way lower than the rewards if you leveled up naturally.

"Right now, all veteran players will immediately receive a level boost and a pack of rewards based on their current progress in the game." could be read differently, of course, so a clarification would be nice.

It seems like the cards changed their XP value with the update quite a lot and the initial value was used to calculate the level instead of the new. This puts players that actually used all their cards at a disadvantage. The disadvantage could be minor - some ten to hundred thousand runes, some gold, several legacy boosters and a not game relevant level (since the already mastered cards have a lower relative value than the new mastered ones). It could also be a major disadvantage, if the player level will be used for other things in the future as well.

Without a proper explanation it just feels very unfair. It could actually be bug, but there's no way to know without statement.
