IMO, there should be a free kick awarded outside the box or something if it's not a clear scoring chance. Otherwise, you can basically get away with murder in your own box.

There are indirect free kicks given inside the box sometimes for lesser fouls but it's quite rare. Other than penalties, referee usually favour defenders in the box.
