You are looking at corpse retrieval the wrong way. A CR is:
1) A crappy experience that takes way too long to be over and involves jumping through too many hoops.
2) An experience that when avoided by some miracle (gogo CC!, joining the purple CH club, etc.), makes that miracle THAT much more spectacular.
I'm not going to argue that the CR sucks, but if you keep pulling the bad apples off of the tree, eventually you won't even have good ones left to eat.

I agree.
Corpse retrieval sucks because it's supposed to suck. Nobody likes doing corpse runs and that's the whole point.
Imagine that the devs caved in to people who don't want CR's or experience loss or any other unpleasantness. What would the game be like? Your group gets wiped and you respawn next to your bodies with a 10 minute immunty and no experience loss so you can loot up and get rebuffed and back into the fighting with no hassle, wouldn't that be great?
No, I don't think it would be. When a fight is touch and go there would be no tension or excitement or fear. There would be no rush of relief when you do pull your butts out of the fire. If you die it would be /shrug and right back at it.
I mean, sure, it would be more convenient. But it would also make the game incredably boring. Let's be honest here, the only real excitement when you are grinding out experience comes in those moments when things are going wrong and then it's only exciting because dying is unpleasant. Take that away and what's left? They might as well but in a /level command to let us all jump to max level and then we could all quit and they could shut down the server.
