I have/had no idea how many players, or from what you say, how few players there are. I understand it could drive players away if they had to wait too long. heck, it drives the higher skilled players away from Ranked now because those games take so long to fill up. I like Proggs suggestion of implementing my categories idea. It would basically be testing a players skill every time he/she plays a game. Do very well and you get to play "Ranked". Do poorly in Ranked and you have to play "Qualify". This really does seem to be the best solution. because if a "Pro" is playing a Qualify game, his rank is going to prevent him from joining those games and he will have to play Ranked. If he wants to keep playing Qual by making new accounts, it's going to get very old very quick.
As an aside note: when I play Ranked games, specifically the one last night, for whatever reason, I played much more conservativly in the beginning than I do in a Qualify game. But then I started getting careless again and started feeding and got kicked. Usually I do make it to the end in a Ranked game.
