Ranked PVP is getting ridiculous

I've been meaning to post this for a while, but never got around to doing it.
Every time, and I mean every time I enter a ranked pvp match, I end up having to fight a warlord, commander, or some other ridiculously high rank. I'm just a private rank, and I absolutely positively cannot win. I'm not trying to sound like a sore loser, these people are all VERY skilled, and I respect that. But I find it highly unfair that my rank goes through the floor because I get stuck in battles with high ranks. I'm sure many other people have this problem.
If I may be allowed to float a suggestion, we should only be allowed to engage in ranked combat with people our own rank. I'm very tired of seeing Private vs. Warlord, Corporal vs. Commander, etc. We should be able to fight with people at our own rank, so we can actually advance in ranked pvp and not sink to the bottom because of a barrage of warlords.
Again, I respect these people and their strength, but weaklings like me should be able to fight...well, other weaklings.
I just want to know; am I alone on this? What do you guys think?

Agreed. I believe it better to NOT get a match if you have specifically NOT selected "Try All Opponents". Only after selecting that option should you possibly get matched outside of your skill level and possibly level range (of course after searching for appropriate ranges).

As a non-PVP person, I admit that wild bolt at mana burn spamming really angers me and I don't know how to defend against it. But you need to realize that every school has some spells basically designed for PVP. Mana burn and wild bolt are some of them. As an outside perspective I understand that PvP is very broken, as there are a few cheap techniques and it needs to be re balanced, but I honestly don't know how. And banning spells left and right even though some of them are designed for PVP is not the answer.
