Hmm... Two thoughts on that.
For the sake of argument, let's say I've just rushed a character. How and why has that diminished your enjoyment of the game? How and why will screwing up my future enjoyment of the game make the game more enjoyable for you?
Do you actually believe that preventing rushing will change "annoying script-kiddies who never do anything but leech, hill, and cow" into the sort of people you'll want to co-op with? I don't think so. In fact, I think it's more likely to screw up my enjoyment of b.net because the little idiots won't be self-segregating themselves into Cow games. So now, I'll be running into them all the time, instead of just when I choose to enter a Cow game to taunt them.
BTW, do you also think that level requirements to enter higher difficulties are a good idea?
