We did it because in another game we played, the similar rule was quite
unerving. I was a plyer and I got the impression that each point (I think they
were Destiny Points) I got was for growth. But the rules were so harsh that I
had to store a bit of them and _spend_ them to survive or achive something from
time to time.
My overall feeling was "they are stealing my XP!!"

Now I see it that way too. Do you whant a +20 right now, for this action. Or a
+1 for one ability forever ?
But I'm not sure my players agree with that.
