Yes, the formula above would take that into account. Once you reach the point of having a high rating, the only way to keep increasing your rating is to beat other players with a high rating. Since a farming alt would have a low rating, having been killed over and over, it would not work.

Farming alts would initially give you a slight boost, but would not be enough of a boost to land you on the leaderboards. For that you would have to fight and defeat players who had high ratings.

Then just make another alt.
You said ~new~ players start at 500. So you beat one to he he death he he then create a new one with a default 500 rank. Since you can't go over 1000, you are always fighting a toon that is within 500 points. It will take more time, but sad as it is, what the leader board exploiters lack in talent they clearly make up for in time Other then that, it is looking good. Will check the numbers. Have you run the equations through a program with say a million randomly generated wins and losses to see what the ranks turn out to be?
