When in grind parties on FFXI when it got late and you wanted to log but you were so close to the next level so stuck it out, you would get it then think hmm I better get another 2k EXP or something in case I die on the way back. That really shouldn't be something you have to worry about.

I think a system like your's is better for everyone as you shouldn't really need to have to keep levelling to have a buffer incase you die and it would be nice to reward players who take extra care to avoid dying.
Ahh I see. Yeah, I was thinking of a way that could give the same sort experiences to players without forcing it on anyone who didn't like it. I think the idea of rewarding players for good behavior is more important than punishing them for bad behavior.
