You get exemped down to a set level, either one dictated by the zone or creator of the Arena match. This exemping works exactly the same as it does in PvE. But remember: you don't lose slots, or whats in the slots. So a level 50 exemping into Bloody Bay will have a definite advantage over those who are actually within the level range.
After lvl 22 it gets much easier, especially as you start picking up the SO's for bounty in sirens, it doesnt take long till you are fully kitted out with them. This puts you on a much more even playing field.
Okay great, makes sense. What levels are toons exempted down to - i assume there is a list of zones and their levels?
Probably a dumb question, but what is an SO? (ive gone blank heh)
You get examplared to 30 in Sirens Call and 25 in Bloody Bay.
In arena there is no limit unless you place one e.g. no one under lv can fight.
And SO is just an abbreviation of Single Origin (type of enhancement - training, dual origin, single origin and Hami O).
Heros
Max Powerz: Lv 50 Tanker
Villains

Spurr my sonic blaster just hit sec lvl 24, and I noticed a big difference in his performance in sirens call.
Ignoring the bad start to the night (tp and hold death galore), I went solo and defeated someone, and when in the hero team of death I managed to considerably maim a few others 
I was actualy hitting villains which made a big improvment over lvls 20-23.

Yep I noticed you were actually hitting my Stalker today as opposed to being lucky to knock my brute out of his dance routine, by lvl 30 you will be pretty damn good Im sure (I advise getting stealth though 
)

Hello Feersum_Endjinn
If youre planning to do a lot of PvP you might also want to consider the type of alt you wish to play with as to Paraphrase a certain pig
All Alts are equal, but some are more equal than others
The exemp system works to some extent but a low alt side kicked up to a level will not normally be a match for a high level exempted down.
He/she will have better slots and more likely SO enhancements.
There is also the issue of certain alt classes are just not real PvP beasts at all.
I personally have gone through all of my alts from 50 down and out of the 8 Heroes 1 can just about hold his own, and one can kick some behind, the others are just free lunch for the opposition 
Happy hunting
some chars may be heavily slotted with SOs, but arent unbeatable. Each class has its weaknesses, its just a matter of knowing your enemy and on how to take him down. Not even the best enhances can protect you from build weakness exploits. Just a small example, cant hit that annoying ice tank in pvp because those armors just floor your chance to hit? Use psionic damage, not even the best ice tankers can resist/evade psi damage. Just like even when people got mez protection, it rarely protects them from fear/confuse. In pvp, fear is bout as effective as a hold I have found.

Hi Guys/gals,
Just roughly, at what level can I PvP and potentially have some fun.
It worries me that everyone else be be level 45 - 50, and until that time it may not be worth pvP'ing as I would'nt stand a chance.
Is there a rough level when PvP starts to become interesting (I am not bothere about being great, I just want to have fun and have a #chance' of winning some battles!)?
I thought that I read that characters are 'balanced' during PvP, could anyone give me a very basic explantion as to how this works?
