With rank points boosted 3x and 5x for Solo and Team arena wins, will we get compensated for our already won matches?
You know, good old GW1 style:
Players who already had acquired Gladiator points before the update on September 27, 2007, had their total number of points multiplied by 6 to compensate for the difficulty and raised tiers.
Players who already had acquired Gladiator points before the update on June 2, 2011, had their total number of points multiplied by 8 to compensate for the difficulty and raised tiers.

so it can actually be FAIR for anyone who invested tons of hours into rated play already?
Quick solution: Like with WvW XP and Levels, Anet give out additional rank points (through the chests) for every Solo/Team Arena Win so far (it’s being tracked in both PvP stats and in the leaderboards).
For example you have 100 Solo Wins at the moment. Thus you should be compensated with additional 300 rank points for each of your 100 wins. That will be 30 000 rank points to get you on pair with the changes. Same thing for Team arena – 800 additional rank points for every win you had prior the change.
But I’m sure they have overlooked this, as they always tend to do with PvP design decisions…
