@ Guala92:

That idea would get rid of the bots, so I have to commend you for that.
The problem is that, like urek said, it would further harm the players. Gatherers are already having a tough time from the pkers, because they cannot fight back reasonably with such limited inventory space.

Your idea might work, if my idea was also implemented (to make cursed gathering only require 1 inventory space). Cursed pickpocketing would still be useful to keep the bots in check, without having to completely remove the normal wilderness level restrictions.

Another idea is for pkers to also have to pay the fee to enter, this would make it fair and give the gatherers a chance to reap similar rewards. This changes the game from pker vs skiller victim to proper PVP . The crater could be owned and guarded by Zamorakians. They require payment upon entering the crater. Since they love to see conflict and bloodshed, they will happy reward successful pkers any fallen victim's entry fee.

Thanks for your idea!

Just thought i'd post to say that i really like the OP's idea and am +1ing it in the hopes of implementation.

The idea is solid and the only thing i'd say about it is the fact that there becomes a problem with the 8 second pick-pocketing in the regard that it is quite an idle task (Where a legitamate player could easily start harvesting a wisp and tab out to do something else for 30s or turn around and watch TV) Never the less i think this is far better than the existing methods and so i believe making the players that behave in the way mentioned above adapt to this method is far better for the economony then the existing method.

Got another idea, put a coffer in the center of the volcano and people from level 1 to 80 will have to pay a hourly fee to gather those energies and if people kill em they will get the energies plus what's inside the coffer.

Even if the hourly fee is around 800k it will be a huge problem for botters since they die really fast with those lvl 3 accounts.

If you cant control bots at least break their banks so they wont be able to enter volcano again.
1) You'd be hurting regular accounts as well
2) That wouldn't make sense lorewise.

Thanks for the support Valkaaire

My opinion about the "problem" you mentioned is:

This is the wilderness. If you afk with cursed energy, like any other risk, that's your choice.
The wilderness is meant to be difficult and dangerous. These things make the excitement and reward far more satisfying. If you are not giving your full attention, other players will and should take full advantage of it.

Being AFK is for the rest of the game, pretty much. lol. Can AFK plenty elsewhere.

Draco Burnz, read my response to Guala92 at the top of this page.
His suggestion had a few flaws. I improved the idea. What do you think of it? The New Wild (instanced) <---------> Enhancing Combat and PVP

i feel like this is just a bandaid to the real problem, bots, which can easily be identified by a human but not by machine learning? jagex needs to step up, ridiculous Buy Zemomarks / Chromatic Partyhats safely here

Thanks Tahlzar

@ Immortalized:

Yeah, I would prefer that the bots were just gone... that would solve the issue directly, but they aren't and might never be.

I think that my bandaid is the best on the market. The New Wild (instanced) <---------> Enhancing Combat and PVP

Just move it out of wilderness at this point until a proper fix of the root issue can be addressed. That's a better bandaid. It has a 100 percent work rate as well.

Zamorak should destroy the wilderness again. I want to see it razed and removed from the world so I never have to witness Jagex's bad efforts to revitalize it by luring in unarmed players to act as bait. Just admit it's a shit failure concept that doesn't work in a meaningful way.
