The battleground fighting will be segregated by levels, probably per 10 levels like they have said in interviews. So you're fighting against people who will be dropping the same range of weapons, usually.
What would be worse than letting people loot your good weapon is not letting them loot your good weapon. They are steering the game towards pvp that is not gear based. Making people go and PvE all the time in order to get a "great" weapon just to compete would be stupid. (And they have said that this will not be happening) So continuing along that vein we come to looting. Somebody who works for a time to get a quest reward weapon and isn't good at PvP should not be rewarded by restricting the people who are actually good. When you start rewarding people for gear farming you start down a slippery slope that leads the game away from PvP.
