Epic PVP needed

I have been thinking about PVP and the matching system for some time. It appears the system doesn't really take into account how powerful characters are in order to match them up. This leads to crazy imbalances. Rarely is a match challenging but winable. It tends to be a kerb-stomp for one side or the other (although I did have a lovely 1999 to 2000 win yesterday with 9 v 10 - the person on our side having left when we were 100 points behind 400 to 500 - a clear sign of this problem).
My proposal to fix this is simple - introduce a gated epic pvp. I would suggest if you have a 3k pvp version for domination, gg, and maybe even stronghold with a minimum tenacity level perhaps also that would got a long way to restoring balance. Now of course a 2,999 IL character will still kick a 1.6k IL character around the block, but just not as much as 4.1k character. And yes, some people around the 3k border might remove an enchant or two to drop back below. But frankly it is still a lot better.
The draw back is that perhaps initially there will be longer q times (fewer people in the two brackets) but I would imagine because it will make PVP more fun there will be more people PVPing. I have had feedback from a lot of people that the experience of being utterly helpless in PVP put them off permanently. I think this would be a great way of fixing this and keeping the PVP interesting for higher IL people
