Make each battleground have 3+ wager levels (e.g. 5, 15 cent AND 65 cents) with different drop rates

There has to be a way to separate skill/gear too, whether by quantifying a total item level (common = 1, Epic =5) or ELO rating etc. All games eventually separate players by skill and the cream rises to the top to fight the best 0.1% always.
