Aether #1 pvp rank is a wintrader. Here's proof:

So as I look at the rankings on all data centers I see those with 9k+ and 8k+ are the win traders VERY low victories with SUPER INSANE crystal rating. Those with 4k-5k are normal with +100 and +150 are normal ladder climbing, but THEN YOU SEE PEOPLE with 7k with insane points gained jumping up ALL the way to near the top, yah no, that's suspicious.

With this new system, they should see suspicious behavior CLEAR as a diamond, if they don't anything then they should remove that top 1 through 5 whatever REWARDS out the window and just give all who made it to crystal the same rewards *shrugs*
