Wouldn't this be a sign of rating deflation?
Have ratings inflated on chess.com recently?

You should try correspondence chess then since you have not played a single match there
I've returned to Live Chess today after a break, and people that are supposed to be about my rating play so quickly and accurately it's borderline ridiculous. Have ratings on chess.com inflated since my absence? I don't want to play people that are impossible for me to beat. It's not fun.
