ah yeah
As many of you are aware there was an issue which allowed players to reach unexpectedly high Match Making Values. While that issue has since been resolved, we're taking steps to control what occurred while it was active.
* All existing items requiring 2200 rating will have their minimum level requirement temporarily increased to make those items unusable. This change is currently planned to be reverted on January 25.
* Weapons which require a 2200 rating will be unavailable for purchase. This limitation is also planned for reversion on January 25.
* All player and team ratings for arenas will be reduced to a maximum of 1500. (Player, team and matchmaking ratings below 1500 will not be affected)
* Match Making Values for all players will be set to 1500.
In addition, the "best week rating" will be reduced to a maximum of 1500 to match the rating change, which will in turn be used to determine next week's max weekly Conquest Points. The maximum Conquest Points given for next week will be set to 1343 to match the number that would be obtainable with a rating of 1500.

In my experience, when it's THAT urgent, it's usually a "OMG genericWarrior guy #13453 figured out how to duplicate a billion gold in 5 minutes."
But who knows. 
Hmm, didn't there used to be a smiley face shrugging?
I think you are confusing Blizzard with Mythic or Turbine.

As mush as I love Turbine, they would take weeks to fix it, and then anyone who exploited it before the fix would be allowed to keep it.

If you think my opinion is idiotic, re-read yours.
Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.

In other words we screwed up again and we are going to punish everyone for it again!

Correcting an obvious exploit is punishment? If you're talking about the few folks who might have gotten high MMRs legitimately, wasn't there a cap that would have prevented that within a single week?
