Skilled players will NOT benefit from playing with others who are cheating, because their games will adapt to cheaters and not other skilled players.

Cheaters will also easily adapt to ranking systems by creating new accounts or intentionally de-ranking themselves.

Are the skilled players plugged into communities enough that they can just make their own servers? It would be some extra work, but I assume time spent getting to know each other wouldn't feel like a total waste, and might be greatly preferable to dealing with all these rootkits.
