Doom i think we're partially both right. Elo and balance system is too compleacted to forsee exact effects of change like this. Probably some talented maths guy could build a model of this and tell us but we all know it's not gonna happen untill we try it.
Some time ago i also proposed to make ranking for both quali and ranked games with tresholds limiting join "advance" and "begginer" games (instead of quali and ranked).
This system i think could solve the problem u mentioned (1500 elo 0 games) and maybe encurage good players (there are quiet lot of them) form quali to join raanked games and force smoe guys we all know to play "novice" server;)
