I thought I replied to this, but it hasn't show up on the list, so I'll try again. Geocaching is no different from hunting or fishing or cross-country skiing in this regard. The way to combat this is through education.
I'm working on a variant of geocaching that addresses some other things that I view as weaknesses. I plan to eliminate the physical caches and introduce some competition and teamwork. Let me know if folk are interested and I'll explain further.
The one thing that I can't solve is the concern you raise. I don't know how that can be solved by any sport that uses the entire surface of the globe as its playing field!
