Lack of foresight.
PvPer's are a small market, look to shadow for that proof.
When you piss of the larger section of playerbase the game dies. UO is still going, though after having done everything 3 times or more on GL and LA it got old.
Incidentally: Exploiters make the game better? Oh yeah, duping, one-hit kills, ghosting, et al., they're all GREAT. Let's make an Exploiter only shard and you can go there. PvP is fun, but not when someone's using a speedhack.

Neat. I played UO since 98 also. Atlantic server. The worst thing they did was to make the fascet split with UO:Renaissance.
I don't see how the cloning facility argument has anything to do with the /citywarn argument. The devs have put in a FIX for that now. Separate from the removal of /citywarn.
And I don't buy your argument of carebears versus exploiters. In my opinion, exploiters are explorers. It's the devs fault for creating the game mechanics such that exploits exist. These exploiter/explorers make the game better in the long run if the developers are willing to keep up with them.
But, in any case, I don't see how /citywarn causes a problem for consentual PvP... as has been said before, ad nauseum, you give consent by driving your character into city limits. You further give consent by STAYING in city limits until the timer runs out on you and you become attackable.
