What is inherently better - or "good" in your terms - about a fight with the same numbers on each side? There isn't. It's unpleasant to die whether you die to one or one hundred. And you as a player are fully aware of those that can summon you (if not, they are necromancers, shamans, paladins) and you have ways to prevent it. First of course being to not be there.

I've been on both sides, and I've moaned and groaned that no one would give me a one on one fight. But that's a point to your personal fun, not a point to what is 'right' or 'wrong'.
