DMs should incorporate all these things into their adventures. The good vs. evil plot is overdone and is only seen in fairy tales and children's books. All grown-up books have a moral background as to them. Not all good people are completely good, and not all evil people are absolutely evil. The most basic example of this is how the Elf that kills all people who enter his forest is seen as a ruthless barbarian in other's eyes, but in reality he's just tired of people chopping his trees down and burning his lands.
Every action has a positive and negative counter-action.
One thing that really kills it for most people is the loss of the magic of a story. RPGs are all about this magic of telling stories. This may seem silly but you see it in every mud or online game in some form or another. Things like this should meld in with the world not be the center of it. There is a reason why there are different races.
