I happened to help build a great alliance, and we all generally like to score high. So, with some token pull luck and alliance rewards, I've got 4 L141s, 2 L128s, and 4 maxed 2*s. I'm not F2P due to some deep philosophical mantra, but simply because I haven't felt the need to spend money yet. While I've consistently been in crazy brackets where T10 consistently required 1000+ points (and one bracket where 1004 got me #19), do you have any screenshots of your bracket that required 1100 for Top 50? That's a whole new level of insanity.

Ah, yep, several Djangoliers have encountered the same thing. It's pretty crazy, especially when 800 was an easy Top 5 less than a month ago.

I obviously wanted to score a Lazy Thor cover, but ended up with a Moonstone instead. I'd rather have gotten 3 standard tokens. This game is becoming more and more of Pay to Win game more than ever..

Well, MPQ progression has always required investment in one or more of the following ways: time, effort, money. It's just requiring more from mid/high-tier players, which is indeed a problem. People currently in the 2*-3* transition are being screwed over much more than before, and I do feel for them: as a firmly 3* player, I've felt how much harder PVP now is, and it's a regular topic of discussion in Django's chat. It royally sucks, but I wouldn't reduce it to a simple "it's P2W now" statement. As I said, I'm F2P, and I'm still doing pretty well using only earned HP for shields.

The bracketing change is somewhat illusory - everyone wants to attribute their difficulty to that, but it's likely that overall scores have risen across the board as the number of people in each PvP continues to increase. I understand being upset that rewards are now more difficult to come by, but consider it a challenge to get better, perhaps?
