Thanks everyone for their comments on this! It's all being weighed in, particularly in regard to the votes but all comments are being considered.
As a side note, I'm not adding my own comments into this, rebutting or voting because I want to see where the conversation goes. I might drop some clarifications in as to how things are currently done or the like, but I laid out my reasoning for considering the change in my initial post and I don't want to steer this conversation in any particular direction.
One thing I do want to point out though, just as a quick clarification regarding how Mage is currently handled on-site: raising Arete as it is currently handled on-site is essentially identical to how it is handled in the book. If you want to raise your Arete, you try to get a Seeking. That seeking, if successful, costs XP (which is of course the part that we're debating). I don't want there to be confusion over that one and thinking that it is different than the book.
Keep your comments coming if you have them and make sure to vote in the poll! Thanks guys!
