The people who hit level 50 first will be able to control the most important drop areas since they grinded there before others. They will be able to access the equipment faster than the people who didn't grind.

Having a weapon that does 2x as much damage as another weapon is certainly a huge advantage. Especially when the twinking starts and there are level 20 melee characters running around that demolish regular level 25/26 players. It's not fun to play the game when you're automatically at that kind of disadvantage. Twinking needs to be discouraged and people being able to take equipment off others is the answer (unless the devs want to code in level restrictions for equipment, which I doubt they have the time for).
