I guess you don't make any difference between "farming" and "playing against whitebelts with an alt".
When you let ranking system work in private rooms, you get people locking it (+ supposedly ghosting it) and farming ELO. No matter what belt they have, white belt or god belt. This can only be prevented by disabling ranks in such rooms and keeping them for official only.
If you want to prevent people with huge qi difference from getting ranking points for playing against each other, I don't see any reasons for implementing a whole new system instead of tweaking the current one. Keep it only for qi-based rooms, add 'rank groups' to prevent brownbelts who play a lot from beating 10th dans and that's all.
As for mod rotation, why not to have more official rooms? There aren't THAT many mods people play on regular basis and there are even less mods that can be considered 'fair'. If players care about ranks, rooms will be crowded enough not to stay empty all the time.
Also please stop adding "esport" to every idea that includes rank / game client upgrades.
I cringe and my brain hurts at your response... or maybe I just never wrote my idea very clearly. Not once did I mention cutting off players from playing higher QI players and for the love of god can you not see i wrote
all numbers are subject to change that includes the QI restriction on lobbys!! The only reason for these QI restrictions on ranked lobbys at higher tiers was nothing to do with stopping "Skill" and to prevent blues being vs 10ths. It is there purely to stop ALTS.
Do I need to hold your hand as I explain each part step by step?
The reason these QI restrictions would not effect regular players is because do you really think a Legit blue or green belt will be in the top 1000 players? Lets say the QI restriction was on the Tier 6 + lobbys. The only people this would effect is Alts.
Also it is 2015. There is hardly any people at all who solely go out of there way to ghost lobbys to farm rank. This is non existent at this time, its not 2008 which is probably the last time you played in game.
The reason for this system has nothing to do with stopping farming, it is there to add legitimate competitive play for EVERYONE. If you read my system clearly you will see it is not possible to farm rank.
The reason for "Not just adding more official lobbys" is because to work out a real legitimate rank players have to be skilled at all competitive mods, not just there favourite one.
*On a side note, I know what you mean by Rank farming and Noob bashing. The point of this system is to add a rank system which isn't all about noob bashing. I may have said rank farming when I men't noob bashing at some points.
