I never really understand the whole save scumming "problem". If you like doing it, do it. If you don't like doing it, don't do it. If you resent "having" to do it, perhaps you need to step back for a bit. Occasionally I'll do it myself when it's a rare chance of obtaining an extremely rare and extremely useful item or advantage, but otherwise it's just that sort of RL "that's the hand you were dealt, deal with it" kind of thing.
What I do object to is when people either say that they have no self-restraint so the game must hold their hand, or that they like to interfere with other people's gameplay so they can't do something they object to on principle. That's too bad and nobody should be expected to accommodate those sort of demands, no matter how loudly they're yelled. Which isn't a comment about anybody in present company, but I have seen both touted as reasons why Something Must Be Done.
