Open is not the thing to incentivise, it's interacting with other players that's the risky bit
I have played in Open for years, I explore in Open, I trade in Open, I rarely meet experienced players & even then it's generally benign.
I appreciate where the OP is coming from but the risk is grossly overstated & perpetuated by trolls that want people to think they are being brave and people who have little to no direct experience.
I also don't really see any problem with players continuing in groups or solo if that's what they want.
That said, I'd have no objection to a monetary reward (ie in-game credits) since they are essentially meaningless now anyway.
