The watchlist, to me is just one of those perfect intel things that couldn't be subverted. Now, with it gone, everyone's perfect intel is now less perfect. You have to work harder to get your targets, and you have to work harder to see who's hunting you. You mean I have to wait longer (possibly for the rest of my life? ) to see if the person I was literally just looking at decides to decloak again, or if they're just done for the day and logged out already. Which only punishes me, the person who is actually still playing, because the other person, isn't logged in! And then when I log out someone else will be punished for the crime of playing past my bedtime.
well... some people would think that killboards have timestamps of kills on them.... and people usually have the same times for their regular play periods.... and one could make some educated guesses from kill one can find on killboards..... 
however i agree: the game needs to provide RL statuses for players like "he is active and on keyboard atm" or "he is afk" or "he is in ship with this fit" so players can evade all unneeded stuff like killboard digging, scanning, predicting and just have fun in this game killing each other.....

i am involved in high sec war.
when i war dec a corporation of 100 pilots i'll add all 100 (or as many names as i can find) to my watch list.
i want to know how many pilots are online at any given time.
my target has the exact same opportunity. they can add me to their watch list.
if they don't, the watch list isn't to blame. it's pilot error. or CEO error. or someone within the target corporation's error for not providing my name to their members.
if they begin to lose ships because they didn't add me to their watch list then they should accept the responsibility for not having done so.
if some null alliance failed to add their opponents cap pilots to their watch list and lost a whole bunch of ships because of that...then why should the rest of us suffer? after all, both sides had equal access to add names to a watch list.
Usually when something becomes mandatory it gets nerfed. You can find lots of examples in Eve Online history.
The simplest examples: learning skills and clone upgrades. They were 'mandatory' and they were removed.
Your picture shows watch list as MANDATORY thing for every war. Either you use it and 'do it right' or you don't use it and 'blame yourself'. For me it fits perfectly to removing to allow players some options.

Story from one WH person.

We see player warping out and then the ship disappears from D-Scan. WL helps us to see whether he just cloaked or logged off.

So as you can see: it's not just 'on/off status'. Sometimes WL gives too much info
