I never understood the fear of Kith. Just gotta hug the wall.

The fear is a hold over from those that partly-remember the change. The original Kithicor was about as dangerous as East Commonlands minus KoS guards and griffins. Folks got used to plowing through the zone without worry, myself included, in their travels between the halves of Antonica.
Then, what happened to me, happened to a lot of folks. I was L25 at the time. I remember that perfectly. I was on my way back from west Antonica to EC. I used the EK -> Highpass -> Kithicor -> WC -> EC route mostly. I had zoned into Kithicor and actually stayed close to the walls as a guide. I'd say I would be within sight of the zone walls. All I remember was seeing a zombie model and then dying in one shot to some DD spell. I hadn't been one-shotted since before L10... that's why I remember being L25 as I told friends I had been one-shotted in Kithicor by some kind of caster.
The zone went from no-brainer safe to instant death. Nobody understood the day/night cycle for a day or two. The word went out quick that Kithicor was now effin' dangerous!
That initial scare has stuck for many, many people.
I understand where you're coming from though. After a while you just have to grin at the L15 sitting inside the zone line from WC asking for IVU.
