Gah!

There we go. All the waypoints and all the quests.

Well, this wouldn't solve rushing: it would just make more restrictions for people that do things themselves. But at least the Halls of the Dead would be visited more frequently in nm and hell difficulties than is presently the case (though probably Nihalthak would be killed even less). ;)

I don't like the idea of level restrictions at all myself, especially if they prevent some challenge: they just mean you can't play the game the way you want to. (Dungeon Siege was particularly awful in that respect -- as in many others -- where the multiplayer character level restriction for a given starting town was absurdly high.) There should, however, be a serious reworking of how xp points are shared. If people couldn't rapidly leech their characters to high levels but had to earn those xp points themselves one way or the other, a lot of the incentive for rushing would disappear (a lvl 1 character with all the quests and all the wps in all difficulties would still have to lvl up somewhere). You didn't see people begging to 3-dot their lvl 1 chars in D1, even though it could be done.
