That's it in a nut shell.
If the vets "need something", then give them stuff like a bonus to their faction's influence/ownership of a zone while they are logged in and fighting. So the more vets in a battle, the less time is required to capture an area.
That bonus wouldn't put new people off from trying the game and sticking it out for the couple months it might take to get the hang of things, but it would absolutely play into the dynamic of the game in a positive way. Leaders on all sides would actively want to place their vets in the battles where their presence would be most beneficial.
That's just one character development concept that would be fun, but is more than simply making the best players able to pwn the worse ones even more efficiently. It is possible to create such systems.
