Rating Changes?

I have a question. Did Chess.com change the way we are rated? I was around 1300-1400 in blitz. All of a sudden my games, I would either gain 30-50 points or lost 30-50 points per game, instead of the usual 7-10 points. Well it took me down to about 1100 and now 1100s are certainly hard for me to beat now. But I am wondering if I am playing the same players but all our ratings got reset basically?

It sometimes varies on your other ratings, if you are 2000 in rapid and 1000 in blitz, playing other 1000s will be quicker as you will gain more elo to get to other ratings you have

This actually makes sense, I think that is what happened to me. I couldn't understand why I would play people and all of a sudden I was gaining 60 points or losing 40. Now its evened back out.

Nope.

If you didn't play for a longer period your rating changer coefficient is multiplied in your first games in order to settle your rating quicker.
