I think I discussed this in a thread with Tommy and Quinn on the Beta forums (I am Airfix Panzer over there). I wholeheartedly agree with Tommy's post here too.
My dream solution is a 'Pro' mode, like the ironman option you see in many RPGs. This would be a totally separate ladder optimized for competitive play. Anybody could play in it but many features would be stripped down and it would *feel* different from lobby / fun games. The cream would very quickly rise to the top.
I personally think that the benefits for Relic would be considerable for what would be a reasonable thing to implement - what I call lifeblood / legacy players (i.e. those of us who are either elite players or the pc gaming version of serious spectators / fans of competition play) would be nourished and begin to trickle in grassroots talent from the more casual / lobby / stomping side of the house.
Of course, this is my dream happy land of unicorns and love, as I enjoy CoH on every level, from competitive to lobby play with friends and I look forward to the new co-op / stompy stuff too.
