Nerfing rushes is one of the best ideas Blizz has ever had. I'm all for it. If peeps are sick of playing the game then switch to another. Nerfing rushes will nerf all those annoying script-kiddies who never do anything but leech, hill, and cow. :P B) :lol:

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?

On the other hand, all those rushed characters will have more time to find great items and runes, so it could adversely affect the trading of the non-rushers.

Well, I can dispell one of the choices there.
I was able to defeat Duriel without ever completing the Summoner quest. Now you cannot do it solo. It would be impossible.
But I was able to do it in a TCP/IP game. I was playing with a friend that was just a few levels above me, but was already in Act 3.
He accidently killed the Summoner and activated the portal. I was able to go through the portal and we went ahead and killed Duriel, because he knew the right Tomb.
I went back later in solo and completed the Summoner quest on my own for exp and mf purposes.

The last one is a line in the show. It is a very funny line. You have to watch the episode to understand the phrase.
