Suggesting that you remove Cursed Energy from becoming visible to players that did not drop it.

As it is now it is 100% being used to TROLL and skull someone as I have personally had players run past
right where I am fighting an NPC
and drop a single cursed in hopes I will ' LOOT ALL ' and become skulled!

No reason for this.

As is it having cursed show up on the ground is literally just supporting trolling.

Might as well remove the second trade window and the flashing red line when items are changed in trade screens if you are going to continue to allow the
BLATANT
exploit to get people to accidentally get skulled so someone can leach pk them.

Possible alternative if possible via programming is ONLY shows up if you are skulled aka chasing an actual curse harvester and they try to drop on the way to safety?

I haven't seen many even doing cursed could just remove it entirely from the game now or change it somehow?


Perhaps a warning you are about to pick up cursed or even better have to OPT IN to be able to pick up cursed otherwise loot all and accidental clicks on ground ignore the cursed all together so as to not get trolled and pk'd by a dishonest player out there trolling.

(Not sure if this already exists because I wasn't trying to get skulled)

I definitely do not agree. The reason cursed energy is valuable is because it is in a dangerous area where you can be attacked by other players. If it weren't visible to others on the ground, you could simply drop it when you are attacked, and the attacker would get nothing. Where is then the insentive to attack? Where is the danger? Where is the reason for cursed energy to be valuable?

So long as there's a message that alerts the player picking up the energy that continuing this action will result in a skull, then there's perhaps no reason for this to be updated. I know this message is already in effect with the Hellfire Bow, so I'd be surprised if it wasn't already on cursed energy.

The hellfire bow can't be picked up at all if you're not opted-in for pvp in the first place. Harvesting cursed energy triggers a warning if you're not opted-in, but I think there are a couple of exploits involving trading and dropping that stuff - and that honestly should be tackled in some fashion. Ideally preventing you to interact with that stuff at all, so future exploits of that kind are cared for as well.

But let's be real - we're talking about some kind of community, that literally thrives upon abusing exploits left and right to cause damage to other players - some obviously less visible than others.

Cursed energy has been removed from the game, so this is a non-starter.

I think this thread should be closed now.

cursed energy is in the game and it will be converted in June unless the players that have it now do something about it

could Jagex be behind a player's account and saying cursed energy has been removed from the game?
