Not true, in fact it wouldn't have the slightest effect on those.
How is that not true? 99.9% of farming happens between the high ranks and low ranks. Remove the ability to play between those ranks - remove 99.9% of the source of farming...

And that is why you have private games...
In order to play private game, you need to invite the people you know.
I want to meet new people playing standard games, but I want them to be smart enough not to screw the game.

Just read the threads and you'll find several, the main one is that CC doesn't want to promote rank discrimination.
I read them, not a single reason, just general words like: "I really dont like the idea"...
And in almost every other game has rank's separation: chess, soccer, bridge etc. You don't have to view this as RANK discrimination but as a RANK progression: you start in city league, then progress to the regional level, and then go to the nationals. Do you ever see David Backham playing against some city soccer team?
For some special events, like BR or some Tournaments (at the organizer discretion) this rank barrier can be removed.
