Losing points for losing vs lower ranked opponents is a bad idea, it's a de-incentive for higher ranked people accepting lower ranks challenges.

I'll reiterate that not taking your own points into account in the reward system is a bad idea though.

They don't have an incentive to do so now.

As it stands, point inflation will not encourage newcomers to participate in Arena battles say a year from now when someone could have like 4000 points.
