I disagree, retrieving corpses is fun to me for two reasons:

1) The actual retrieval, it can involve being sneaky, invisible, and solid understanding of zone and NPCs in zone. It can also involve soliciting help, creating ties with other players. It teaches responsibility and patience. You are forced to man up that you made a mistake and learn from it.

2) The heightened fun that comes with the risk of having to retrieve that corpse. When there is no punishment for dieing, who cares. If you crawl deep into a dungeon and start playing loose and fast you are risking a lot and it makes the game more enjoyable for me.

Spawning with full equipment is dull and takes fun out of the game. Corpse runs were and still are genius, may they stay forever.
