You’re 1700 OTB right? FIDE considers that the 87th percentile. Very good
Not anymore. I went down to 1570 and it’s provisonal so I think I’m still overrated lol
Percentile never seemed that accurate to me. Even if your rating is 1000, you will have a good percentile because there a ton of 5 to 10 year old accounts long abandoned with an awful rating.
2200 is NM

it only accounts for the active accounts (Active in last 30 days)

Im currently 90.2 percentile at 1318 rapid. Pog. Kinda puts it in perspective
haha, let's go...current chess.com rapid at 99.7 percentile. Sounds good to be alive... 
Problem actually has to do with the discussion on rating pools and relative player strengths, but in summary - some groups of chess players play tougher than others. Let us take an example of 90 percentile because it is a round number to work with.
If someone is 90 percentile on chess.com, then yes you really would win about 90 of 100 chess games if randomly paired with ANY chess.com rating opponent; this includes titled players and beginners. However, there are WAY more beginners than chess grandmasters, so that skews the average.
In this example, 90 percentile is super high in a practical sense. Congratulations 
Does this mean you are a "great" chess player? Umm...sort of, but not really. Enter a chess tournament of 100 players, only the top 4 win prize money - you are expected to come in 10th if everyone was random in rating. Problem? Tournament players are tougher than the average chess player (duh, they dedicate more to chess if they are competing in a tournament at all!) In this fictional tournament of 100, maybe a chess.com 90 percentile player would actually place in 20th for the event on average (80 percentile).
Essentially, it takes a ton more knowledge and ability to increase rating once reached really high in rating. It is still super cool to be "better than average" though. 50 percentile is exactly average for that rating pool though. Yes, 90 percentile does put how much progress into perspective However, it is a wake up call to think that a 90 percentile player from the world (beginners and titled players alike in that rating pool) is going to typically compete well in a tougher rating pool (like OTB rated events by USCF or FIDE).
