It's my guess but I think this is a temporary fix to low participation in pvp until they can manage server transient queing. I guess that implementing server mergers is a large task and this will buy them some time to accomplish it. I agree however that this shouldn't remain in the game permanently. I could see it being around for a little while longer though. This update has already had one patch and it still has tons of bugs to work out.
On a side note, once ur rating gets high enough (around 2k) u will only get 2 points per round.....and even higher...(2.5k) Well then It's honor points only and 0 towards ur rating. One more balancing factor is... Everyone can benefit from this to raise their scores, but many people just haven't caught onto it yet. Once they do it can mean some real competition with much higher ratings.
