I'd be fine if the rank system gets reset, but I'm wondering if it would do any good. To me it seems that the only thing you guys will get out of it would be self gratification for wiping away the work of all rank whores. But even if you do so, and take away the exploits they used to climb the system, there's a chance that you'll make the situation worse. A good number of rank whores feel "fed" at the moment and are quite content to not play aggressively. But all rank whores, dormant or not, are always seeking to improve their KDR. By cleaning the stats, you'll give reason for all rank whores to actively pursue a new and improved k/d ratio. A server full of active rank whores would be disruptively abusive on the zombies. Rank whores will always be present, and they'll continue on whoring. Even though they might not be as great as their current rank tells, these players do have a considerable amount of skill to easily decimate and scale the ranks. And there's always the possibility that they will find new exploits to replace their tools. Just my
