Why are people asking for captcha?

The point of captchas shouldn’t be trying to be unsolvable for the botting company but to make it tedious enough to keep their botting software up to date. When this goes on, the constant investment makes it less profitable for the goldsellers.

You ignore the point that there are also many many ways to create captcha that is complicated for the bot to solve it easily.

It won’t be as tedious for the big fish who can use the system I suggested as compared to players who actually have to fill them without reward.

Well if you bother to read my earlier posts, I want captcha that won’t hurt the gaming experience in the first place. It should be triggered only after certain suspicious activity that normal users won’t do. And since it’s relatively cheap and easy system to implement that way and update it, I think it should be added to the list of tools to hinder the botters.

The main goal of it should never be for trying to make it fool proof.

@Mirarara
Please read my previous posts and stop ignoring them and then suggesting things I didn’t mean and am against :sob:

I’m not sure there’s such a thing as suspicious behavior bots will do that players won’t.

Current bots are apparently running the 90 dungeon and selling dozens of Arde daggers. Not sure how you pick which player is a bot automatically.

Yep. Read the second answer to this topic. It’s still pointless though… You can get them somewhere else more efficiently.

People suggesting and supporting captcha are just the ignorant and have no idea how bots work. This is why IMC shouldn’t be listening to this retarded community.

Not you again. You’ve proven yourself to be an idiot.

Captcha is just a lazy script generator that can be worked around by implementing auto captcha. Google auto captcha to inform yourself thanks.

Captcha is the laziest form of combatting bots.

I think people that are against it are just assuming that we want captcha system as a singular preventive measure, which, for me at least is not the case.

I know captcha will stop the z-jammers, I know it will stop the amateur bot users. That’s good enough reason for me to have it in the game, UNTIL they come up with a better solution for the more advanced bot users.

I think that captcha system AND reporting system with dedicated staff that investigates reports would solve most of the issues.

Is it primitive? Yes. Is it better than doing nothing? Yes.

No reason not to do it, until they figure out a better solution that isn’t as intrusive.

Captcha system for the newbie cheaters. Reporting for the advanced cheaters. :stuck_out_tongue:

This is sugestion thread, people who dont like captchas can suggest a better solution ?

Sometimes, doing nothing is better than hurting the current system. Lol.

No, we are against it because it’s the most retarded form of trying to combat bots. You clearly have no idea how bots function.

And here’s the evidence of one of us having difficulties on reading comprehension, now that you brought that up :grin::

[The other thread varuna is referring to. And to think that he still couldn’t understand what people were trying to tell him :joy:] (Token players ability to blacklist bots)

Sorry about the off-topic. I won’t be bothering to continue that topic here any further and I promise to ignore his baiting.

Doesn’t really matter now, does it?

It will prevent z-jammers, it will prevent amateur bot users. That’s all I’m suggesting it for.

Come on, call me names too, like you did @Nyyppa. I’m getting jealous :3

It wasn’t people. It was you and another moron who thinks adding a report function will somehow create more botters. As stated previously, they are adding a report function in the game now regardless if you like it or not so too bad so sad.

I’ll continue to point out idiots when idiots want to come posting things they are ignorant of. If you are uninformed about such topics, you should not be giving your input or suggestions in.

doing nothing wont change anything.

You seem to be ignoring the fact it’s a hated system, I created this topic in sheer panic as I really don’t want to quit this game. Captcha will force me to quit. You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for a game like this.

Any basic game development is to not cause any form of inconvenient feature for the player. IMC seem to have a record of listening to the community and this is a feature that isn’t welcome.

And you seem to be ignoring that it’s hated for reasons. Reasons that can be fixed while still implementing it.

Neither should you.

If you think captcha can’t deal with z-jammers and amateur bot users, then you’re as idiotic as the rest of us.

@Solkazo
I love this game too and I’ve been waiting for it since the announcement, years ago. It has nothing to do with RO, so I’m not nostalgia goggled either. I simply like ToS for what it is.

There’s some things I hate in it, but that doesn’t make me quit. If you like ToS even near as much as I do, something like captcha shouldn’t even affect you.

Some people like being annoyed. And they feel alone in their peculiar hobby, so they want everyone to be annoyed.

OP is a botter.
IMC please go ahead and implement this captcha anti bot.
I want to 360 kick this guy… honestly…

Can your bot read this?

And this???

No. That’s why you are against it.

Add: even human can’t read em.
