I agree. The problem is, like you say, that many players don't want this which means the only people playing newer games with this are hardcore themselves. There are no "victims" anymore, while in the days of Ultima Online you had no alternatives. So even people who didn't like the mechanic _at all_ were forced to interact with it. This created a unique dynamic I don't think we will ever see again. Nowadays they just pick another game.
