Well thought out answer.

Having a conversation on the ramifications of pvp exp loss as a whole on the server is a legitimate concern.

Every other thread here is filled with people's concerns of what will happen to this server in the long run. There is no doubt EQ pvp servers have a history of stagnant populations. It does no harm to discuss what the pros and cons of this system might truly bring.

As it is now, the penalties for loosing in pvp is huge, while the benefits are minimal.

Mmm, that's the thing though. This isn't so huge, especially at lower levels. It seemed to me from my time on beta that a pvp death takes less than a blue of exp. It's a deterrent, yes, but a huge one? No.
