Thread: No Captcha's

  1. #1

    Default No Captcha's

    Originally stated by Dawnseeker:
    "I think everyone needs to realize that captchas are not a silver bullet, and would probably be ineffective in reducing bot use unless we had them pop up every 5 minutes (which we're not going to do)."

    Zowza Replied:
    "Everyone does realize that they wouldn't stop 100%, but everyone realizes it would stop ALOT. You would NOT need to have it pop up every 5 minutes or even randomly you simply need it to be a gatekeeper for attacks and upgrades, you want to send an attack? solve a simple captcha, sure it takes a little more time, but it's a necessary evil to ensure a semi-fair playing environment. Currently semi-fair has NOT been acheived."

    Zowza - why would you want to type a bunch of letters and numbers every time you send out an attack. Do you actually play this game? You don't think that sending farming runs is tedious enough without having to type a bunch of crap between each attack on top of what you already have to do.

    If captcha's are incorporated into the game in the way you have stated people will quit within hours.

    Sorry your solution is a poor one, time for a new idea.

    I hate captchas, they waste my time.
    People can't always read the warped letters, so they get the "you fail" response and waste even more time.

    I don't even understand the question.

    I think the "close" botton is broken from previous one.

    In what way did i put dawnseeker on the spot? i simply took a statement that he posted so that you knew the whole picture. If i only added in zowza's message then you would only know half the story.

    If there is already a topic discussing why captcha's shouldn't be incorporated in the way that zowza suggested please direct me to it as i cant find it.

    If you guys continue to post silly replies, the thread will inevitably be closed as your spamming. Please keep on topic with your opinions on zowza's suggestion.

    My self esteem is the lowest out of anyone and I'm willing to fight anyone you says otherwise.

    Take a pick: have evony be a battle of bott writers or have a captcha add another 1% to the tediousness of farming. There is no option of having no captcha and having no botts, it's not within the realm of possibility.

    Once again: Please stop making new threads on these subjects. People cheat. They get caught. We discipline. People who get disciplined swear they didn't cheat. We investigate and let them know what we find. Rinse and repeat.

    Does it have to be hashed out to death every single time with 30-40 new threads?
