yes - i understand all of this. the original point i made, farrrr back in the annals of history, was that i do not like this situation. i do not like that i have to play against rank 1s, glads and streamers. i do not like that they get trapped and are unable to climb. i do not like that the default response is “lol, just dont play for 60-120 days” - i understand the ‘solution’ - which is to either become a rank 1 myself and get stuck at 2300 like every other rank 1, OR, don’t play for 60-120 days. I don’t like those solutions - and i was saying there should be a third solution: add inflation at the start, not at the end.
somehow this got warped and twisted to be “leeches is upset that he can’t get rival/duelist/glad!!” (idk, it changes every time other guy posts. i used to be ‘challenger for life’ now im upgraded to ‘rival for life’ after doing… nothing 
)
wasn’t the point. leeches will get his rating. leeches will be fine. if leeches wants the enchant he will get it. worst case scenario he will pick the best most giga FOTM spec like destro lock in S1 or ret pala in 10.0.7 or whatever and just grind games like everyone else. But, 1) i dont want the enchant, 2) my tabard is better than any tabard besides the wotlk ones imo.
so yes, gatekept ‘debunked’ too - same as that wild accusation that i talk to myself via classic alts
