Raphael Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Simple change. You have to do one captcha every time you log in. The turn resets will now log everyone out. So once every two hours, if you're consistently logged in through the day, you'll need to do a captcha. This eliminates the need for a captcha on every single screen but still provides a good "catch" for bots. I assume most people log in once or twice a day to check on things, maybe 3-5 times a day if you're checking the market. So this would still reduce your total captchas done per day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potato Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Everyone knows the best way to prevent bots is a very predictable timing on the captcha. Even if that was a good idea that would be incredibly annoying to have to login every single turn instead of just doing a captcha. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically the game logs you out almost every turn, even if you're sitting at your computer all day. I'd rather do one captcha then check all my stuff rather than a captcha on every other screen. If the captcha doesn't prevent bots then that's a moot point if it's predictably timed or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mateus Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) It is a problem on your part if you're logged out every turn, I'm sorry But your idea is not garbage, captchas could be triggered only once a turn or every few minutes, this is not hard to do. But then joins the problem of predictability and they become useless. Edited August 10, 2020 by Mateus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Scarfalot Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Being allowed full bot ability for 2 hours straight does not prevent nor discourage bot use... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
