actually the ratings are not inflated. Before there were many people with rapid ratings like 200-500 below their blitz. Now their rapid ratings are where they're supposed to be.
And as for bullet prodigies, why complain? lol

people will play even less rapid to try to maintain their new high rapid rating. All leagues will have issues. Inflating bullet ratings were just uneccescary

Actually, I don't think so because "12.5 million 10 min games are played each day".
All leagues will have issues.
Bullet was just uneccescary
idk about bullet. But for many people their bullets are much lower than their blitz.

As you heard here:
https://www.chess.com/news/view/10-minute-chess-now-rapid-rated-bullet-ratings-increased
All rapid ratings and bullet ratings have been heavily increased. This creates TONS of problems, among which include playing people much stronger or weaker at the same rating, huge confusion, and most importantly, leagues such as https://www.chess.com/club/notes/not-so-pro-chess-league and https://www.chess.com/club/not-so-pro-bullet-chess-league have to disband all their teams!!
If you agree that chess.com should undo the changes, sign the petition by saying so below!
Ratings will stabilize quickly for those that play a sufficient number of games. The site has done similar rating adjustments in the past and things kept working.

@SNUDOO I now know people who have FLAGGED their way to 1800 RAPID.
Look, I now have to face tons of 1600's that are actually 1200's. What is this nonsense? Blitz and rapid are two different things. Somebody who has reached 1600 blitz has reached it by playing BLITZ. NOT RAPID.

If 10 minute blitz was rapid, I would have reached 2000 a long time ago. And those 1200s with inflated rapid ratings, they probably won't play some ridiculously long time control to them and stick to 10 mins. If you don't play 10 mins this shouldn't be a problem, since 15|10 has a different pool of players.

Well...I know they did it for a reason. Maybe bullet ratings were, on average, lower than people's blitz ratings, so they wanted to counteract that?

Mmmm.. If I understand this correctly then I won't be playing 10 minute rated anymore as my slower neurons prefer 30 mins and up; though to be fair I played very little 10 minute rated anyway; prefering unrated if I want a quick chess fix. I'll wait and see how rapid ratings have been affected ie if my opponents are at the level I would expect. I think however that everyone's ratings will "settle" down quite quickly and like someone above said; our raitings are just a way to compare ourselves to others, so the actual number is largely irrelevant.

@Signal25 if you regularly play 30 mins, it's highly unlikely you'll encounter inflated rating people. Because they said people who play 10 mins would get that increase in rapid, and so they probably won't just decide to play 15|10 or 30|0.

no, it's all good 
That doesn't make sense... If people generally have a lower bullet rating, does that mean you have to increase it?

most peoples bullet ratings are much lower... so they decided to increase it. imo the bullet increase is the shadiest of all changes because of that.

why would chess.com remove their development because some not-so-pro chess league got messed up for a couple months, just saying
everyones rating got inflated
so? If everyone's rating is inflated then you just inflate your requirements.
