What is v3? I would like to play higher rated opponents only as well. Why would chess.com prevent such a thing? it makes no sense. If I wish to play higher than me rated players, and they dont mind playing me, why not? I am the one who is going to have to wait longer for a game.
If everyone only played higher rated players, no one would get games. That is the primary reason your seeks include your own rating.

I don't see how you can challenge by rating in live chess.
