So if there is a level system without real benefits (better equipment, Skills, etc.) what is the point? Level does not automatically equal skills. A skilled player can open a new account and play as lvl1 character while even a bad player can reach maximum rank eventually. And if a level systems offers a benefit it is really hard for Newcomers because they are at a disadvantage.

I like the Halo 3 system. As you win rounds and defeat higher-ranked players, your own experience rises and you rank up. These ranks and levels don't bestow special skills, perks, or weapons, but they allow you to broadcast your aptitude. So players can track their progress, but don't win any special advantages.
