    No, it does not, because my moral compass does not find direction in life that way.

    Consider the same argument from the point of view of botters. If they have invested a lot of money into the game and suddenly find themselves without the time to farm, the choice is give up on their investment and quit because they haven't the time, or bot and make the most of their previously invested time and money by using one.
    Consider the same argument from the point of view of a stock investor. If they have invested a lot of money into the stock and suddenly find themselves without much money because the stock lost its' value, the choice is to accept the loss and claim it as a short or long-term loss on their taxes, or steal money to recoup the losses, making the most of their previously invested money.

    I understand that, having put a lot of time in myself. I just think the anti-botters should attempt to at least try and think it through before they run their mouths off all the time, the game would be a more enjoyable place for everyone, and there'd be a lot less hatred flying around these forums.
    I understand that, having put a lot of time in myself. I just think the pro-botters should attempt to understand that we live in a world that is supposed to be governed by rules, and if people are allowed to break the rules because it is convenient for them, the game becomes less enjoyable for those of us who do not break the rules, and there'd be a lot less hatred flying around these forums.

    No offense but your real life comparisons are terrible.

    Default audible captcha?

    Why not put a button on the captcha for those with eyesight problems that would give the numbers/letters of the captcha through audio? This would enable them to hear it instead.

    Because that would be the sensible thing to do, so it won't be done.

    Hi,

    I don't know about you but can you tell the difference between a I or l (pretty hard on the captcha) or a 0 and O..

    Does it have to be case sensitive? i usually have to try 2-3 times each time to get it and this is rather annoying...
    It is case-insensitive.

    Can anyone from Evony confirm whether homographs are treated as the same character? E.g. can 1, I and l be used inter-changeably?

    Regards,

    Well, what I can tell you is that a stat site that showed how many bots of that particular bot reported in for each server has suddenly stopped displaying its' data. The most likely reason for that, other than a technical failure, is so that Evony cannot just browse that same page to see if the levels being reported dropped, stayed the same, or increased, preventing them from using the bots' own data collection against it.

    Most ppls bot probably arent working yes, untill they found out there is already a temporary solution and theyre working on a permanent one. So it's a matter of time everyone gets the fix and then you are back were you started. The botters will have survived captcha and the regular members will only been annoyed by it.

    I can only imagine how annoyed i'd be if a captcha pops up while timing hits, or when i wanna make a last minute trap or open/close gates. I've no idea if that actually happens with captcha tho, is it really as annoying as it seems to me?

    LOL

    I know everything there is to know and when you come attack my city you won't be able to break my 15k balls, 10k pults plus scouts defense if you don't bring a hell of a lot troops to gradually destroy my troops by sacrificing a lot.

    But then again, you have proven in the past that you have no real battle knowledge whatsoever, so what am I trying to prove.



    As for farming, it was never intended for us to farm. It evolved that way from the players themselves so they could have bigger armies. Your're just going to have to play a different way rather than overkill attacks.
    You can't, because there is this massive advantage these defenders have called range setter range and archery wall bonus.

    Only way to break a city's defenses against an online player who knows what he is doing is overkill.

    But you wouldn't know that, because you don't do attacks on these scale, so far is obvious, as when you do you would't have posted this nonsense I quoted above.

    A pony smack? What's that gonna do? NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Ponies can't kill anything in range.

    MY point as well, it's just not so hard to find a work around and in the end who will suffer the most? Those who are praising captcha right now lol.
