I don't think such behavior would be difficult to spot. Typically one character would gradually go forward to higher tiers, perhaps with some small degradations from time to time. When someone wants to cheat the ranking system he/she would have highly dynamic ranking like sinusoid. Simulated degradation of several tiers down, then going quickly up when having lots of kills on lower tiers, then again simulated degradations.

Merciless Sarn Arena is ridiculous for people who are not yet super demigods with lvl over 90 and top equipment. It is absolutely nonsense that there is just one Arena, when the spread of character power between let's say level 60 and 100 is enormous. E.g. with my lvl 86 Trickster (discharge/frost/lightning assasin) build there are plenty situation when someone is killing me almost with one click. Or I get kileld just by reflected dmg before I even take someone's 10% of HP. Not all people play the game so often that they quickly reach "demigod" complete build level.

So the idea is simple: introduce Arena tiers (e.g. 1-10). Each tier will mean characters with similar powers capable of having even or close to even fight. Every character will be classified to a tier judging on previous PvP history. So most obvious factors for classification could be:
- Arena estimated performance based on kill/death ratio
- 1v1 ranking

Honestly this is what lvl 28 pvp is for. If you want a division you can compete without sinking 1k ex into. Still LLD can cost a grip of currency. You can also try nromal difficulty Sarn Arena with a lvl 40 char. I hear they are REALLY inexpensive to build and they can usually shit on most top tier lvl 28 pvpers.

Some elo for sarn arena would be interesting but will probably never happen. Wish there was a like 10 person FFA queue to get ranks in, that would be fun!
