When someone was lvl 50 w/ max exp or when they are lvl 60 w/ max exp the loss of a yellow bar on death becomes a marginal annoyance.

Removing obstacles in game is a slippery slope and I find corpse retrieval to be in itself fun and the risk it poses enhances the fun in the rest of the game.

I'm surprised to hear people actually like corpse retrieval. Imagine you are a high level Warrior for a minute and don't have a permanent Cleric in your group. It is not fun to sit at a zone line waiting for your group member who can cast invis come back to get you. It is not fun to ask in /ooc for an invis after your group broke up after a group wipe. It is not fun when the invis wears off halfway to your corpse and you are trapped and probably going to die again. And in some cases where it is impossible to get your corpse back that night, it is not fun logging off without getting back to your corpse. None of that is fun, it is a timesink, that is all.
