Is the pit too messy?

I'd estimate that 70& of all deaths in Ruins come from people falling into the pit. The worm sound is constantly playing. The pit is littered with inaccessible bones. I feel like having this much chaos destabilizes the map and devalues an individueal life, if you're going to throw it away fighting at the pit, because there's so much slaughter. It would be nice if we could lower that percent a little.
