Lol amazing ain't it?
Suddenly a huge percentage of evony players have some sort of visual handicap when playing Evony..
And of course, this doesn't stop them from reading alliance chat, or finding that lvl 1 enemy city in the sea of reds in a 200x200 square state littered w/ dead accounts, blues, greens, reds, grays, and whatsnots

Once bots are able to decode captcha's it will serve as yet another reason to use one, since evony once again throws a speed bump in the way of playing.
+1 for all who still try over and over to point out the weaknesses in age1 as a game that they would like to have addressed by evony.
berninis hammer is a nice take by a business analyst of something that is so common its hard to even consider it a feature anymore in most if not all strategy games out there.
vestas is another very smart invention, yet at the same time claiming that reducing food bill or changing the way food as a resource is handled in the game wont change anything or level the playfield, hm?
And now captcha popups while playing, remind me again why I still like playing age1 after 1.5 years and these are the new features?
ps. yes I do realize eovny actually fixed the camp time on returning troops, nice one there, otoh you killed moving troops via valleys in the same patch so +-0.ds
Why is this still being talked about. It is gone to be implemented and not even all the whining in the world will change that.

Lyrically I'm infinite like possibilities
But you don't have the capability like infertility
Cuz opening your mouth to question my validity
Is like trying to contradict the theory of relativity
Has anyone given any thought to what happens to the player who sets his farmers and goes to bed or to work or wherever?
I play at work primarily and if I get a call I dont have time to log out so I am online but not active for as much as 8-12 hours if I get a transfer. If the captcha screen comes up during that time am I penalized for not answering?
Will I be subjected to popups every ten minutes until Evony is satisfied that I am me?
Or will Evony come up with a system whereby you can buy cents and extend your captchaless time.
I pay to buy cents and invest a good deal of my time playing the game and really do not like the idea of popup screens like a virus or ads that shill for some "male enhancement device/drug" etc.
Most players who bot I feel do so because it is the only way to keep feeding the ever bigger armies needed to compete since the merges.
Maybe Evony should figure a solution to that problem and their fears about botters would be solved.
Evony created the need by forcing more and more people into bigger and bigger armies. I get to play more than most people I believe and have a hard time keeping up with -4 or -5 upkeep and have to regularly Holiday because I cant be gone for a day or 2 without refuge.
Come to think of it that means I have to buy coins to not play. Hmmm could that be the actual issue with bots?
It would be great if this worked, but I don't think it will. I believe the bots will have a way around this soon, if they don't already.
I love how Evony says this will "level the playing field". The playing field between botters and those using multi accounts and those who don't is too huge already. Nothing I do (other than whipping out the Visa card) is going to get me all the medals for promotions/persuasions that those who bot have gotten--and that is only one example. I also love the "we didn't intend for the game to go this way". I am sorry you are finding that out now, but all you are doing is attempting to close the barn door after all the stock has left. You are trying to put a band-aid on a wound that requires reconstructive surgery and will never be quite right no matter what you do.
I personally don't want my game interrupted with the captcha. (Not that I think Evony really cares what their customers want.)
And I do leave the game running when I am not present. I like to scroll back and see what has been discussed in alliance chat and see if anyone has whispered me.
Why won't the reps respond to the concern voiced here (over and over and over) that this captcha pop-up will at times prevent people from toggling gates or recalling troops, causing them losses that would not have happened if they were allowed to play without your interruptions? Sure, it won't happen all the time, but when it does, that honest non-botting player just gets screwed? Nice.
