All these changes would, on one hand, make the risk less. And the recover-time shorter. (I wonder what is wrong about a shorter recover-time, I don't think it has anything to do with carebear servers)

It isn't about the shorter recovery time, it is about taking a shortcut. Why not just make a custom map with everything all scrunched together... The world is a rather nice size and it should be utilized, not skipped over.
Also as other players stated, when you go to an island to hunt you take a risk. This is why you get to use 2 stuck options a day and that is more then enough.
Guys I know some of you want simple hunting and straight interaction but by adding such features it really limits the world. Back in the day you used to be able to find people roaming in the woods and those were fun fights, as well as a change of scenery. That might not directly pertain to this situation but it certainly has an indirect effect on it.
But seriously why do we even need pits?

On a somewhat related note, I think entrance to the pits or exiting should cost 12 gold
