grenv: If a recalculation of everyone's rating takes place, it won't fix anything. It will just use this rating system retroactively. I agree that a higher rated player should get less reward for winning a game against a lower rated player, but the points should be based on the ratings of the players involved and their actual odds of winning a single game. For a series of games it should break even after awhile if the odds are calculated correctly. For a match where the points are awarded at the end of a series of games, I can see having it set up with higher points, but this would again be because of the odds. In a long match, the better player will win more often.
