"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)."

"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.
