To clarify, I don't so much think that the XP system is disheartening so much as players having to wait too long to see their characters progress is. This is true of any system in which GMs award points subjectively (and believe me, I'm not suggesting that I'd like to see hard rules for XP like: killing a gargoyle+30 XP, finding a magic item=20 XP, etc.). It is really up to the GM to read the players and to come up with ways to develop their character. There can be narrative ways to do this, too, like letting a wizard climb in the guild ranks, or a soldier be promoted.
