I understand that evony wants to get rid of b0ts, but making it more annoying to use the system is not going to work.
    The captcha we went with is not affected by colorblindness.

    As Dawnseeker stated we can easily plug in other captchas if this one is broken. We looked at some other captchas we looked at are in theory harder to crack but are harder to answer quickly. This does not mean that we think the one we have is crackable easily, there is just one very very commonly used one out there that is known to be pretty much immune for cracking and is used all over the internet, it is just a little hard to read.

    I can't begin to fully express my displeasure. I strongly disagree with this implementation of captcha for several reasons:

    1: First and foremost, it will disrupt game play. Several times I have used the fake scout bomb combined with a scouting run to gain a scout report...what happens when the captcha pops up at the wrong time and I can't recall my scout bomb? Will evony recover a lost hero? Will evony replace the lost scouts? What if those last 100k scouts are the difference between an enemy scout attempt being thwarted or getting a scout on me, but they are lost? For these few examples, any interruption of game play is unacceptable.

    2. Unless efforts are made to accommodate people with poor eyesight, it becomes a case of unequal treatment of players.

    3. In my experience with captcha, it often screws the letters and numbers up so much that I often don't type what is required. This anticipated and expected frustration is unacceptable.

    The bottom line is that if evony incorporates this on my server, I am done with evony, along with any money I might spend in the future, and I will seek refund of the money I have paid--I did not sign up for a game where an interruption can ruin the timing of attacks and could flush many minutes, possibly hours of planning and hours/days of troop building down the toilet and possibly lose heroes and troops.

    Evony is a great game when play is uninterrupted. Captcha in-game will ruin it and I and many others will be gone.

    Sorry, edit: I understand and accept uncontrolable interruptions, like my cable going out or hiccups in the connection, but a planned interruption as often as every half hour for someone bad at captcha, like me, is unacceptable.

    I think this is whats gonna happen ... Player A will run bots for himself Player B and Player C for say 8 hours, Player B will run the bots for Players A and C for the next 8 and Player C will run bots for Players A and B for the remaining 8 hours. The player running the bot will check in once in a while to ensure that the bot is still running, if it isnt he will enter the capa and relogin. This coincides with farming cycles so the bots farming patterns will not be affected. Unless you have accounted for this capa's wont make that much of a difference.

    Every 2 hours? Now that is bound to screw up alot of attacks and defences. How is it fair if a player is trying to attack and bam captcha! They get it wrong and can't sent spammer waves and lose their best hero because of it? Or on the flipside the defender trying to time RI waves into their city to mess up an attackers followup waves and then bam catcha! Oh no you just got wiped when you shouldn't have because you can't guess the messed up letters and numbers that I know for a fact I struggle greatly to read. Gotta say this is one of the worst ideas evony has had in awhile just sayin.

    I'MMMMMMMM BAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

    norr is basically a lesser version of shep

    Norr... before the captcha it was just lag... lag ruined 1/2 of my defence... but now there is only a small chance of a captcha rather than lag every 1 minute... think thats a fair trade off for ss57 at least.

    EDIT: also attacks lagged up to 1 minute... its fine now
