This isn't meant as a critique or anything; I don't know the "history" (except the one in this thread I guess) behind this post. Simply a comment.

Depending on your angle, an incentive can indeed be hurtful for an activity. For example, if the incentive encourages fast work where careful work is needed, and the pool of potential workers the incentive applies to contains workers who can't work fast and careful at the same time.
In the case of exp reward in PvP, the incentive does not encourage the player to do anything at all (except participate). For those who want to play by the "rules", this can hurt their experience (bots/afkers).
