I play a lot of FW, before the LP store it was all I played.
Limiting who can play FW is not a good idea.
The belief that eliminating low experienced players from FW will increase the likelihood of better battles is a bit misleading. The imbalance is less about the "quality" of players and more about who players decide to fight for. If you eliminate the portion of players under 5mil sp who chose to play FW, what happens when you have your full squad of "elite players" against a full team of "elite players"?
Perhaps using the opportunity to recruit and teach new players in FW is a better idea than limiting them to Pubs.
FW is designed for lower SP charactersGǪ look at the benefits of the LP store. Yes the 'Specialist' gear has lower fitting cost which is great for those of us trying to fit better gear on our suits, but the majority of the gear benefits from lower skill requirements. For those with less SP spent this is huge, it allows them access to better gear, and the ability to test out what they want to spend their low levels of sp on.
FW should remain available to all players as it is intended to be. The issue that needs to be addressed is getting the numbers up in Factions that need larger player pools, and perhaps some of the experienced players need to start teaching the newer players about the game.
I know that there is a number of groups that do this already, but perhaps FW learning groups need to become prevalent.

I am sure you don't agree with me, you are viewing this as a competitive environment and I am not. 
In the Dev blog about the FW changes CCP stated that they wanted people to have to play both Pubs and FW, this was one of the reasons for no isk in FW. This does not mean new players can't play FW, it does not mean that it is an isk sink, though it can be for those of us who have more isk than we need. What it does mean is that people have different rewards for different play modes. Not really sure how no isk payout makes it competitive, I just don't see the line of reasoning there.
As I already stated much of the LP rewards are more beneficial for lower SP players than for higher SP players. This does not mean those with high SP may not want to try out new gear through the use of LP gear, but the benefits are greater for those with less SP. Would you care to explain how you disagree with this?
People are free to chose the mode they want to play, and how they want to play, overall what your OP states is that you want people to play the way you want them to play. You would like more control over what other people are doing, by restricting their choices. Correct me if I am wrong on that.
