I've been primarily PvE on my Warrior for some time now. I'm about as geared as I can get in Naxx 10 / Heroics so I've been trying my hand at some PvP lately, specifically Arena.
Now pre-WOTLK I had a rogue that was pushing the 1900 Barrier and for the most part things went pretty well. I stopped playing when S2 came out, but had most S1 gear including weapons.
Now my main concern isn't the fact that I've been getting destroyed in arena's, its the way the points have been working out. I lost a 3v3 against a team on my server, they gained two points, and we lost 24. We were about 40 points away from them in ranking, so this seemed a bit odd.
I brushed it off, and we won the next fight. However, we gained one point, the team we defeated lost 22 points. I looked the opposing team up on Armory and they were about the same rating as us.
How does this make sense at all, in the past things usually evened out so substantially better teams would gain a very small gain from beating a lower team, and we would also lose a small amount. Unless it was a huge upset, you would never see people ever losing 24 points in a round, and now it doesn't seem too uncommon.
It seems near impossible to get a rating pushing 1900 if a single loss can take away 15+ straight wins.

It's just a bug in the rating system as far as I know. Just stay away from arena until it's fixed.
Nvm. >_>

Yah, so apparently the point system is still terribly screwed up.
Hopefully all is fixed, I don't really care just yet, but in time when I PvP more this will suck.

If you are over 1550, it evens out. I think in lower brackets, it's a bit uneven. I was playing last monday(not yesterday), and my 1600 rating team was powning teams for 4-8 points, and then every time we had a counter and lost, we would lose 15-18 points..... This made a very long night trying to get to 1645(which we didn't get... =( ).
I noticed bigger jumps on my alt that is sub 1500 with a bad 2v2 composition(feral druid/hunter). We did get really close to getting back to even last night tho.... Thank god for few paladins, and the ones we encountered were horrible at removing cc.
