I fully support HisAirness' idea. Max hit rule is the best option fo divisions.
I don't think this suggestion will make new citizens stay in the game more
Divisions by level, strenght or max hit, will generate a gap everytime between players, with every month, and you can't please everyone.
I can agree with you that a change should be made, but not this. [my2c]
We can't completely eliminate gaps between players but we must do something to reduce these... Idea of divisions based on levels is definitely a bad thing, it causes the biggest gaps. Experience points have nothing to do with battles. I don't know why Erep's Staff can't understand this... As HisAirness mentioned before, this player is the best example of how current divisions are wrongly constructed:

...and many, many others.
What will new player think seeing such tanks in his division?
I retired from Erep in 2012 but I returned few days ago... and every battle I check I see in my D1 players hunting for BH with 50k / 60k / 70k or more strenght... This is ridiculous.
Of course I didn't mention about various bonuses you can buy. I just focused on pure gameplay.
