I've personally never cared about rank or Level.
I've RPed a fight scene where I lost to a player who was a lower rank than me and I had great fun doing it! ~♪
I would like to think that the rank is not representive of a characters actual skill at whatever their doing, but I know that not everyone sees it that way.
I've heard players badmouth others because of their low rank, and honestly, I think that's pretty sad.
A bigger factor for you starting your own linkshell, I think, is that you need to have a decent number of players willing to join from the start. Even if you're a maximum rank, if you don't have other people to do stuff with, it's all for nothing.
