It doesn't matter if they reset the ranks to make it fair since there are still plenty of people who boost and help their friends go up in rank.
If you're only a level 10 and your friend uses your account to boost your level or always keeps you in their party while they do all the hard work to get you up to level 30 then you still cheated the system.
Only benefit from it is that he'd suck playing against other level 30s and give them easy kills and an easy win.
Bungie should hide the ranks. I know people use it as an ego booster because it proves you're really good at the game... but the main purpose of it is so that you can play with people who have the same skill as you.. and boosting yourself up to level 40 to "show off" doesn't help you when as soon as you play a real level 40, you get owned.
That kind of happened to me, my friend was a fairly high level and I would always play TS with him, so my rank would go up no matter what. I can't wait for the reset personally, in theory everything should work out in a few days, the good will level up and the cheaters / people that suck will remain at low levels.
