Cleaning up old posts!
This is directly tied to the maximum single integer that can be stored in 32bits.

An issue created when achievements were added and wow started showing statistics for your characters based on previously tracked stats that weren’t shown, or perhaps weren’t fully tracked via a database, but something attached to the character itself that doesn’t seem to have translated properly perhaps. Might even be associated with how wow’s engine was upgraded to 64bit to make use of newer hardware and both both were in use for a time based on your PC’s current set up.
Any way, yeah, single number that 32bits can represent and −2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647for representation as a two’s compliment (same maximum range).
Well, that motivated me to some napkin math.
2^32 = 4294967296
which is 2 more than:
4294967294
So yep, it’s maybe a 32 to 64 bit conversion error. You’re points about 2’s compliment are probably correct as well. Been awhile since I had to deal with that stuff.
Oooorr, and hear me out, all the rest of the arena/rss players are worried about numbers less than around 4000, and our numbers are about 1 million higher. I mean, that’s a lot. Maybe that correlates with pvp skill? I’m just saying…
