It's not a far stretch to have Dimensional Anchor block people from crossing into or out of a rope trick spell. It's -basically- bodily extradimentional travel as is. Load up a Hallow or Unhallow on your dungeon, toss Dimensional Anchor as it's warding spell. Bam. No rope trick.
But really, be honest. The reason ya don't like Rope Trick because it takes away the DM's Screwing With PCs At Night options, isn't it? Speaking as a PC.. we hate middle of the night fights. We're not prepared for the most part, there's bugger all for visibility, and tend to be low on spells which all adds up to people getting really hurt. And then you get fatigue penalties the next day. Rope Trick seems a pretty logical extension, really. Were I a wizard I would make a point of developing a spell that gives me a secure, hidden, weather-and-ambush proof place to sleep no matter where I went. As for the above suggestions of etherial filchers stealing the PCs goodies as punishment for useing Rope Trick too much.. or etherial diseases making you fade.. or etherial predators or undead taking notice of you Rope Tricking all the time.. or etherial stock brokers messing with your portfolio because they don't like how you invested in Rope Trick futures.. nuh uh. Rope Trick isn't etherial. Sorry.
