Another thought:
Make cursed energy untradeable.

You used it for 2 purposes:
- harvest it with your divine-o-matic to make charges (it was the 'fastest' way to do so)
- convert it anyways to a type of energy you needed (could be for a bunch of energy to transmute something like charms, or to make a whole bunch of your highest level energy to sell)

It wouldn't completely destroy the usefulness of Cursed Energy as you could still use it for the intended purpose. 100:150 conversion ratio of whatever energy you wanted.
But bots wouldn't have a reason to farm it as much as the GP value would be tied solely to the value of the best energies on the market.

Put a daily cap on the amount of cursed energy that a player can gather, based on total level (at least for F2P, but maybe P2P also). PKing energy remains unrestricted.

No, this easily gets abused and goldfarmers have lots of accounts.


Restrict Cursed Gathering to a few worlds

No!!!! This will bring all players, skillers and pkers here.


Make all Cursed Memories stackable

Dunno, sounds cool but what about guthix cache boost?


Revert the removal of the combat level restriction

No

Pickpocketing

No, wilderness is place where players fight.
This would just be annoying and waste of jagex time.


Way better idea would be to simply make worlds require certain amount of total level or quest points.
Legit players would have option to play saperately from bots. There is no point botting total level just to join these worlds.
Also removing confirmation window when destroying Memories might help.

@ Hayamo

- how can it get abused? You realise that if someone has multiple bots, having total level restrictions will still limit their gathering significantly. Multiple accounts farming energy indefinitely vs multiple accounts farming a restricted amount of energy. Still a significant change. If you're talking about multilogging accounts to farm cursed energy that aren't bots, I'm pretty sure that that's within the rules.

- That's the whole point.

- Interesting thought about the guthix cache boost. perhaps it just converts a max of 28 memories each time, not the limitless stack that a play might have.

- Yes, because currently it's not fair play.

- Players can still fight. Legitimate players should be unaffected by wild pickpocketing. It was created to affect bots mainly.

Interesting idea to have a required amount of total level or quest points in order to harvest cursed energy, but this would end up locking out legitimate players too. It's an ok fix, but not an ideal one.

Also maybe the more curse energy you have on you the faster you can gather Increasing gathering rate this way means bots that keep banking are disadvantaged
Thanks! I have read a similar suggestion before. Your point that bots would be further disadvantaged has made me realise that it's a better idea than I initially thought. Thanks for that! :D

Here is who suggested it first, but I added you both to the front page since you both had the same idea :) Original message details are unavailable.

Interesting idea!

How about something like... for each 100 energy gathered, you gather at a 5% faster rate?
If you choose the third option (convert memories and energy to Experience), the effect is reset.
If you destroy or drop energy, the effect is reset.
If you leave the wild, the effect is reset.
If you bank the energy by any means (cape seller banks, imp-in-a-box etc), the effect will be reset.

You have to gather the energy, hold onto it and stay in the wild to maintain the effect.
I have a thread on cursed energy too, if you'd like to take a look.

Thanks for the positive feedback, and I'll check out your thread soon! :)
