You then have to die or gain a large amount of XP in order to start cleansing it.

Death on the other hand incurs an XP debt that you then have to work off. This can not only make it harder to level but at cap will cause your stats to start to drop until worked off.
I can see a guild or two setting up services to bring you into an instanced area and letting you kill yourself then helping you grind up the XP debt to cleanse extremely high Corruption w/o fear of losing all your gear.
Well that will burn off the corruption but likely not the best strategy unless you do not care about the grind it would create for leveling (xp debt on death x4 while corrupt). The absolute best way will be to grind XP without dying.
Anyway I think the general conception posed here is a bit off you won't go corrupt if other people fight back, attack purple (flagged for combat) or corrupt players. Right now I'm under the impression we will be able to flag ourselves for combat and if that stays in for launch then there will likely be plenty of targets who remain flagged for combat so you won't have to risk corruption unless you are focused on attacking non-combatants.
