What you talkin' bout Catpcha rules !!!!!1!11!

One of two things is going to happen, the bots will be patched to deal with the captcha and continue on botting within two weeks ..... or players will complain so much that it will be removed within two months ....

lol - this^^

If our flight timer does not freeze while we are trying to figure out the captcha I expect to stop extracting aether altogether and never craft anything that uses it. I will not pay anyone else for it either and expect prices to rise dramatically anyway.

I absolutely HATE captchas and usually take 2 or 3 tries to get one right because some are so obscure and use ambigious letters like lower-case L's and 1's.

Bot-like behavior is so easy to spot why doesn't NCSoft just enlist volunteer GMs with limited powers -- like EQ's "guides" -- and give us better tools to aid them? Sure it can lead to griefing but with a GM personally investigating the complaint someone who repeatedly reports a false bot could be penalized themselves.

Captchas, bah! :-P

This is AWESOME! They should expand it though and make it like a CAPTCHA meta game that you can play for a few minutes at least!

Remember, it's not a bug, it's a feature!
