Happened with me too, so they definantly changed the point ratio.
I do understand why they did it...its an odd game, because you either suck at it, or you excel at it. And those who excel are getting 1k with VERY little work, while those who suck were still getting a decent amount of np...But I don't think they need to cut it quite so drastically either. 4.0 or 3.0 maybe, would have been reasonable, but NOT .47.
Though personally I was plenty happy with the original 1.0 payout.
