Agreed. Not sure if reduced loss has ever been considered but surely it'd help? I mean, I PvP occasionally and I almost ALWAYS end up on the Bounty Board. And I almost always lose 5 levels because I'm an evil Admin. I get those level back swiftly enough.

Maybe this should be the main concern for the discussion then? Not the "what is we nerf xp loss" approach, but the "what if we teach players that xp loss is not the worst since someone tried cooking the first brussels sprouts" ?
The idea about nerfing the xp loss as an incentive to try out PvP in a global, is to me the same as gently pushing someone till they drop on their knees, then look at 'em and say "see, that didn't hurt that much" and then expect 'em to wanna get pushed head first into the ground after that, with the logic that hurting your knees wasn't all bad, so hurting your face must be just fine as well then.
I don't see it working like that. If we want more players to do PvP, we need to teach 'em it is not bad, nor something to be feared. I have no idea why som many seem to think XP is the best thing in this game since Heath Ledger (you girls know what I am talking about). But they do. And they fear PvP, mainly since it takes away their precioussss.
What they need to know is exactly what you said yourself; The lost xp is gained back swiftly.
Heck, those with big stam banks, gain the lost xp back, just by sitting still to regain their spend stam.
