Player B starts the game for the first time, gets dropped into battle, gets shot. And then you tell him he can't earn XP for the next three minutes, because he died?
You could just prevent any new players from downloading the client instead, that would save them the trouble of having to install it, play once and uninstall it again.
Stopping anyone getting XP for a period of time because they got killed is not a good idea. At all.
If someone is better than me? Great. I get killed, he gets XP.
If someone being better than me results in me being locked out of the opportunity to progress for an arbitrary time? Not great, I stop playing, and hence spending money on microtransactions.
