Not sure if this has been suggested yet but I thought it might help a bit while at GWD at least. Since Graves came out shortly after the release, our items had that little extra protection, the was no garantee you'd get back in time or that anyone would even bless you, especially when doing so costed prayer points and a high prayer level, not to mention you had to trust that someone would do so.
Now I'm aware that many people are against gravestones and while I'm a bit unsure of where I sit on the matter myself, I had another idea that could be an alternative. Instead of holding the items on the ground for you, we would make use of those higher prayer levels, and without releasing curses =p Of course these new prayers could only be used outside of wilderness and would be of relatively high levels; for example level 85 and level 95. At level 85 we would unlock the ability to protect an extra '2' items, and at level 95 there would be another prayer; 'Protect extra three items'.
This could be done a few different ways, also depending on whether we would want both or just make one lvl 95 protect extra two without there being a protect extra 3.
-There could be separate prayers for these levels. 85; Protect extra two items. 95; Protect extra three items. (cannot be used simultaneously)
OR
-Upon achieving these levels your level 25 prayer would automatically protect as many items as you have the level for, but only outside of wilderness. (Inside the max is still 1)
(The above options would have the slowest drain rate)
OR
-Each level would feature an identical prayer, and so in order to protect an extra three items you would have to activate all three. (This would drain slightly quicker as the drain would stack, but it would still be fairly reasonable)
I believe as a high level content that these would be reasonable rewards, while giving us high level prayers, without introducing curses and without introducing gravestones. Because you would need the prayers active.
