I definitely agree here. A DW must be careful to choose who he steps on. If he steps on the wrong person things may get ugly. But we can't deny the fact that, besides the risks of pissing off the wrong people, stepping on people has many benefits, for the DW of course. Just as an example, look at Roman Abramovich, the owner of approx. 20 billion dollars and of the football team Chelsea. To get as wealthy as he got, one of his acts was the betrayal of a close friend and mentor of his, Boris Berezovsky. He threatened Boris to sell him all his stakes in two large russian companies for very low prices, damaging Boris' in approx. 4 billions, otherwise Boris' stakes would be confiscated by the russian government.
So you see that's how a DW acts. Of course now Roman made so many enemies that he flew away from Russia to Great Britain and always surrounded by a heavy load of bodyguards. But he made it. Me too; i'd rather be the richest of Great Britain as he is but have made many enemies and betrayed a lot of people than be just the average joe blow and live a "morally respectful life", whatever that means...

As in my example that i wrote before, i don't know where you got this idea that DWs are obsolete. The concept of the DW remains, what changes is the strategies. While a DW of 10000 years ago would go out on a killing spree, the DW today doesn't kill (unless it's really the best possible choice, considering all the risks associated). There are other ways to take advantage of other people than killing. Much more effective and rewarding ways.
