We went through a lot of topics on the forums and distilled out a few ideas that would be quick to implement. Here's what we've done so far:

1. Removed win/loss ratio from profiles and coalitions. Added 'games won' and 'games abandoned' (%). This should hopefully encourage people to play the game to the end or at least surrender. Note that people will still be leaving games no matter what penalties we come up with. Just focus on maps and scenarios that don't require every player to be present - then leaving won't be such a huge deal.

2. No surrender in solo games, only abandon. Solo games wouldn't add to 'games played' stat nor to the 'games abandoned' percentage in profiles. This would make farming a bit harder and allow map/scenario makers to test their creations without fearing for their stats.

3. Players are now allowed to play in the Beginners room until rank 5 (including 5). Additionally, ranks 0-3 are no longer allowed to play in the Main room. This would prevent newbies from being horribly slaughtered and stop guest alts from starting scenarios in the Main room.
UPDATE: Beginners room is now for ranks 0-4, Main room for ranks 3+

4. 'Allow alliances' option changed to 'maximum alliances' - now you can specify exactly how many alliances players are allowed to have (0 option is also included). Default is 3. This should discourage alliance-spamming and make alliances more strategic.

5. Coalitions:
- Only coalitions that have played a CW (or registered) in the last 90 days are listed in the index, similar to the players list. Other coalitions are available under a "show all" link.
- Players now receive double SP in CW.
- Seasons now have 20 games, with the last 20 games counted (as opposed to first 10 previously).
- The significance of competence is now much lower. CP gained/lost now ranges between 50 and 100 (used to be 1-100). Meaningful competence ranges between 0.75 and 2. Anything below counts as 0.75, anything above counts as 2.
- Latest CWs will be shown in player profiles (coming soon)

6. Completing each chapter in the tutorial now gives SP and exiting the tutorial is counted as a victory. This would only work for rank 0, though.

We have a lot of ranks 0-5, don't we? Let's wait a bit and see, we might have to lower the limit to rank 4.

Is the default for 3-5 the beginner room? If so, I think this is the main cause.

well, i actually like that begginers is full of low ranks, the number of quits has decreased by 500%.

begginers room has 30 players now and like 40 games up.
Main Room has like 60 players and like 30 games up.

Here's something that came to mind. If a player sets up a private game and wants his low rank friend to join, will the low rank be able to play the private game in the main?

If he can't then you should probably adjust the settings to let any rank join a private game regardless of which room it's in.

Main Room has like 60 players and like 30 games up.

Remember that the number of players that you see in the lobby are exactly that. Players in the lobby or in the main chatroom. Players of games are not counted. By the way today I was 4 hours connected. And in those hours main room had between 10 and 20 games. And beginner room around 30 games. Maybe I was in the gamein a wrong time to play.

For now yes but in the long run players in the main room would increase massively

Ivan, 0-5 was ok. The quality of the games had increased by a lot.

the only people complaining is ranks 6 that want to farm ranks 4-5, ranks 5 will get annihilated by ranks 8+

Getting annihilated is educational in my opinion.
Anyway, they can keep changing it to decide what works best.

This can only work correctly if you also add a disable game changes button as suggested elsewhere.

I like the changes(ranks 3+only allowed in main)But i would like to add, ranks 3+ IS the issue, noob hosts are generally smart enough to kick ranks 3-, so, Instead, I think you SHOULD MAKE IT SO ONLY RANKS 5+ ARE ALLOWED IN MAIN. THIS WOULD FIX EVERYTHING.

It should be already unlocked by buying premium and should be possible for any map, including world game. Try clearning cache and relogging into game, maybe then it updates you the feature. If not, contact a Moderator or Admin
