u are right cuase this is not gonna stop bots its just gonna make it a little annoying.Trust me. Not all botters will quit. lol. Not even a fraction of them.
but the day evony come up with something that realy stop bots for good. thats the day a server like mine gonna turn to ghost server.
this is useless effort just to annoy players.
oh and the day evony manages to enforce all of its rules like no multi accounting no account sharing no filling . . . thats the day evony will be history lol.

Wow,
Is this the solution, I don't know of a single other game that requires you to enter a captcha every couple hours. That is the lamest thing I have ever heard of.
There is a very simple solution to fixing the BOT problem.
1. If you get caught BOTTING, you loose your best hero. No good player will risk it.
2. Remove or significantly reduce the farming requirement.
People built the bot out of necessity. The insane farming requirement does not make the game fun, it is repetitive and boring. How I enjoyed that 21 days of free upkeep you guys trialed.
From the alliance im in, 50% BOT, these same 50% are the coiners that port with huge armies. So removing the BOT will remove the big players and a big slice of revenue.
The small non BOT players, never coin, never have to buy ports, penicillin, excaliburs etc.
I really dont mind either way, but the BOT is a subset of the farming problem created by Evony.
Case in point. Yes, they're only testing it right now, that's why it's only on two servers. lol 40 people quit? According to everyone on this thread, we're probably up to more people than are actually active on those servers that have quit because Evony isn't as good at implementing ideas as they could be. I'm sure it doesn't make their job easier sifting through pages and pages of BAWWWWWWWWWW. Also, I'm not trying to insult anyone, but seriously, grammar helps.

Microsoft Asirra (Animal Species Image Recognition for Restricting Access) looks like a really fun alternative

Dawnseeker what happened to the once every couple of hours? I had it pop up soon after login answered it correctly and 24 mins later its back again?
This added to the login problem and the lag is making things very difficult and the reasonI ask you straight out by name is so far I havent had a reply or answer to any of my questions.
What about those people who are visually impaired and the dyslexic folks, we have a dyslexic guy in our alliance who is having a very rough time with this new system, everyone is having problems with it throughout the alliance and sometimes even if you answer correctly it still boots you off..........I just got the spinning clock for an hour last night.
You realize they've posted already in previous threads that they didn't intend this game to get to the point where people had immense armies that they can't possibly feed without BREAKING the Terms of Service? It seems funny how people are using the farming as an argument for why all the ideas are bad.

Please read my post more carefully and try to understand the English grammar and sentence structure
Small players can be around 5-10%.. at around 5k active players / server... 100k active players total... And that's a consumate number..
5-10% would be around 5-10k people.
if that's within the tolerances allowed by the high ups, then there it is
Even if every single person who posted in this thread quit, that's not even 1% of the total active players

You're absolutely correct. Why? Because bot programmers will simply program around the captcha, either with a pop-up window where the player has to enter the captcha manually, or by using online sites like imagedecoder to do it for them.
Then, a month from now, people will be right back here again, whining about botting...
