The stigma against twinking never warranted this

BGs are a lot like a game of Tug’o’War.
Sometimes, you’re going to get a team of 100 pound weaklings against a team of Lumberjacks or Professional Wrestlers. It’s Going to happen.

BUT IT’S NOT COMMON ENOUGH TO EXCLUDE ONE GROUP, just to “Make it fair.”

Kazul above pointed out a very obvious truth.

It’s just so rare that you’ll ever run into a Twink, You’ll MAYBE run into 1 every 10 games. Yeah, that one game out of 10 sucks. But you’re going to run into that in XP on mode too. It’s just not much of a Problem. At lower lvls, it’s even less of an issue because that Twink is going to lvl in a couple of games and then you’re not likely to see him again for another week (if ever) because he’s off re-gearing and/or Twinking a new character.

Frankly, I still think it’s extremely stupid of Blizzard to have included EXP gains in BGs in the first place. BGs are where you go to take a break from lvling/grinding and just want to smash some face.

What Blizz should do is REMOVE all Exp Gains from BGs.
Then when a player ques for a BG, that player can choose to play for either EXP or Honor.
And Have appropriate rewards for players who choose whether or not to play for EXP: Gear for those who do, PVP tokens for those who don’t.
