An easy way to stop the rushing would be to institute a faction system with different areas.

Mission completion would boost the faction drastically so that people that do missions would be able to get stuff from the next area by doint the missions and quests, but doing the same mission over would not yield more faction

Ascalon(Free faction) but you could make it better so tht items would sell to ascalonians for better prices which would modify you selling price to the mechants in that area.
Dwarves(Is aquired from fighting the enemies in and around ascalon. as well as missions around ascalon)
WHite Mantle(Is aquired from shiverpeaks Low level areas as wel as missions)

and so on.

Deldrimore Dwarves (is Aquired from fighting in the crystal desert as well as killing the doppleganger and doing the Dragon mission. These to primary missions would Yield a Ton of faction to offset someone who might just want to keep killing stuff in the desert.)

-Each faction would have a start of say 0, where they do not know you and the npc's wont say much to you, allow you to buy or sell ANYthing, and you cannot complete quests for an area you have 0 faction for.
-WIth faction between 1 and say 250 you could buy and sell to merchants(at a crappy price) only, and still the armorers and skill traders would not recognise you as a friend therefore you would not be able to make the armor.
-with a faction of 251-500 the mercant buy sell prices would be better, but still bad vs someone with max faction.
-then 501-750 would change prices per faction point, so someone with 501 would have different prices then someone with 750 to merchants, yet you still could not talk to the armorers.
- and 751-1000 you can now talk to the armorers, but with a baseline of 751 faction, the prices would be way up there to match the price of say 15k armor for the mere 1.5k armor. This would make it so people would want to do quests in the qrystal desert as well as missions to get a fair price for armor.
once at 1000 you would be able to talk to the skills trader and the merchant prices would be equal to say NORMAL prices and well as the price of armor and such.
-you can however gain more faction up to unlimited i guess but the affects of the bonus in your favor would be exponentailly less enticing with more faction so at say 1250 faction you could buy the 1.5k armor for 1.3k a piece, but at 1500 you would not see another 2k drop but rather now it would cost 1.2k This scale could continue on and on, but for farmers, killing in the same area over and over would yeild less and less faction from a kill.

Anyone like this idea?

then rushers = power levelers

level 1 character pays 5K to power level 1 hour from ascalon to yaks ... same shet different pile ...

it in fact raises the value of skilled rushers ...

the faction was implemented to stop people like me giving up on the game before uas.
people rush because they dont want to play this crappy pve (ME!). Why do you want to stop them, because it offends you to see a lvl 4 in droks? let people get on with it, youll do more harm than good (predominantly youll make my life unhappy

)

nice idea for the rpers, not for people like......me.

OMG! CAN PEOPLE JUST SHUT UP ABOUT THIS STOP TRYING TO EVEN EVERYTHING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! God there is already like 6 threads about rushing, post it in there!. You know what if people want to rush let them be rushed play how you play and let other people play how they want to play. If you get pawned in the arenas so what? just dont go its so easy to get past lvl 10 neways.

Now that's a real balanced and fair statement for the whole? LOL NOT! The lower level arenas were made for everyone also, so there should be no high level armor, weapons or skills in them. Stop the rushers, close off Droknars and restrict armor requirements for Ascalon Arena and Yaks Bend. That'll solve that and be fair for everyone.

Well I could care less about the arena and thats who's complaining, the arena folk who feel the game needs to be changed to suit their desires instead of thinking of the rest of us. I PvE ONLY and got run to droknar forge when I was lv18. I got 15k armor now and just cleared past Riverside Providance. I can tell you I really LOVE this armor. People can complain all they want, its unfair for PVP to see lower lv with droknar armor and its unfair to PvE to cut off access to Droknar armor. Instead of ruining the game fo others, Anet simply needs to put an armor limit on the lower arenas so those getting pwned can find something else to complain about. Like Newbies with black dye armor from Ascalon... damn buggers are sure hard to see on my screen's resolution.

UAS/R/UG/W/Armor= I dont want to work for anything. Its too hard. (IMO)

Close of Lornar's pass, people go to temple of ages and get rushed to Sanctum Cay. Means more low level people in Desert trying to Ascend so that they can get the Armor.

Close of that pass? People have to run all the way through Kryta and around to get to Sanctum Cay. Longer, but people will still do it.

Easiest solutions? Either deal with it and move on, or ANet puts some type of level requirement for armor to be used.

Off topic note: The new free expansion that is coming out soon; one of the areas is rumored/implied that it will be on the way through Lornar's Pass. Closing it off might keep some from getting there.

An easier way to stop rushers is a very low wall (or step) strung across one side of Lornars to the other. Simple
