I don't know how much you can do as server hoster and admin, but for competitive scene over public servers, there should be a group that enhances this and set the standard for others, normal servers and hardcore servers (or a customized one, with any rules hoster wants) doesn't sound like a bad idea to me, some other kind of limitations would be indeed beneficial and help others to get into to the game and show another perspective of AC competitive side.
It would sort of fix the problem but not completely (can cause more problems sadly) although with restrictive rules and active admins on this servers it could be much more easy to get people that wants to a have decent game going playing into this servers (making inters instead doesn't cut it for me, i hop in others fps in pubs with people that i don't know, still, i see teamwork or at least sense of doing something for the objective).
Trolling or teamkilling would be non existent (3 tks= kicked, cant join for 5 minutes, joins again tks 3 times again banned for 2 hours, or a straight forward kick/ban from the admin with a warning), restrictive max players (per map/mode), not allowing voting same map twice, weapon restriction (just an idea), maprot selected by their own players via poll vote in some thread around here (season maprot), a ladder system (having the same current ladder servers using this rules implemented) etc. It could live of the same dedicated players that come by, the rules by default would be fair as all the clans themselves would agree with them (admins) by giving feedback on their clan forums or directly on AC forums.
This is all impractical, i know. But if you have a strong need to get competitive players together it would be fair at least to have guidelines to new people that AC has other nuances on its gameplay, they will feel more interested on choosing what they want, or at least be aware that this competitive thing exist.
