No need to cause politics or a war, I love trees... Here I am waving my little white flag on a stick!

I'm saying that I find it a waste of time to compare these images when these "human checks" appear so often. E.g: Sometimes I might get one every 3-5 minutes if I'm doing a repetitive task like doing all the available away games at Baseball (sometimes there might be eight to twelve in a row I can do, and from a monetary perspective it makes more sense to do all of them). The bigger picture is that I think the "human check" is far too often, maybe once every fifteen minutes or half an hour for a person? Not every few times the player does a repeated action, like buying or selling, or doing away games, because it gets tedious and annoying quickly. That's my problem.

This isn't a bad idea, it was the intended result of such a change... Other than that I think typing by eye is faster than comparing multiple images.

The thing is, comparing images with and without trees, waterfalls, street signs, store fronts and so on can take time, on average I'd take about 10-15 seconds to do the picture test puzzles, especially with street signs or store fronts because they're so similar to another category (e.g: house fronts, barns, etc.). Really, I just wish it'd be a lot easier (e.g: around 5 seconds), seeing as I see these human checks sometimes five or six times in a 10 minute period.

The problem I have with the current system is that how annoying it is. After a few times it'll require me to do images instead of doing just the mouse position thing, sometimes every 5 minutes. I personally feel it's easier and quicker to look at an obvious string of text and type it back rather than compare up to nine images and find all the ones that have trees, waterfalls, street signs, store fronts, etc.

Yeah... As far as I know that's an older version of Solve Media Captcha Type-In, the one I'm referring to just uses ads, similar to the image below.

Captcha Change Proposal (AKA Politics And War: Episode V – The Captcha Strikes Back) Google reCAPTCHA's "Tough on bots; Easy on humans!" tagline is a pretty true statement when the service is being used to check if the user is human during a non-repetitive task such as creating a forum account or signing up for an email. The problem with using it to check for bots or scripts attempting to use P&W is that this is a repetitive action from the same user on the same domain... After a few uses by a P&W User, rather than them performing a simple mouse position check, reCAPTCHA furthermore prompts them to complete to complete a picture task with up to nine or more images and a direction such as finding all the images with trees (or street signs) which can easily become tedious. Google reCAPTCHA's "Tough on bots; Easy on humans!" tagline quickly becomes increasingly less true based on it's presumption that the user is a bot due to the repetitive nature of their action on P&W. What I propose is P&W uses Solve Media Captcha Type-In instead, rather than the user needing to do the aforementioned picture task, they would instead see an image advertisement which contains a phrase which needs to be typed into a text-box, doing so would complete the captcha. I feel this would save a considerable amount of time for the user, and possibly also help P&W earn money towards server costs and such due the monetization. EDIT: It has recently came to my attention that the "Human Check" process happens way too often (today there was fifteen Away Games on the Baseball Screen, and monetarily it makes more sense to do all those games rather than let somebody else do them... But in the five minutes I was doing these Away Games, I received five of these checks, roughly one per minute), I feel that instead these checks should grant a certain amount of time where no checks shall be made. For example, each check could give a player fifteen minutes of gameplay without the checks. Feel free to bring up your own ideas here too.
