Captchas, Captchas and more Captchas

Everyone's shouting for an article requesting yet another captcha.
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/suggestion-for-admins-add-captcha-when-joining-a-fight--1920798/1/20

I dont believe that will solve anything and here's why:

1) Bots/clones need money to eat and therefore they must work.
2) Work has captchas. If the bots can bypass captchas to work, they WILL bypass the captchas to fight.

My suggestion is WAAAAAAY simpler.

Disable permanent logins (Remember me)
Add Captcha ONLY to login BUT replace ReCaptcha with an mathematical-images-based system (what's 2 * 3, what's 64-8 etc)

Remove all other in-game captchas.
If a bot/clone cannot login it cannot fight / work / vote.

"Remember me" este foarte folositor. Nu imi place deloc ideea sa imi scriu parola de mai multe ori pe zi.
Apropo, multumesc pentru recruiterul din DT. Inca este folosit : )

@Metaphysics mai exista DT ?

@DiMlTRiS Yes. i know.
But an image based-mathematic would be better
Or something like this maybe:

(enter 8 random digits in first field)

Well, they could add captcha for new users and remove it for old users. If I haven't been a bot for over 2 years, I probably will not become one tomorrow...

In my opinion there are some really old clones/bots creeping around the game.
I mean Indo, Ro, Hu ... the old countries/powers

Mai exista DT Gold si DT Beta desi nu stiu cat de activ e beta. Din cate imi amintesc lucreaza la unul nou, legends parca se numea, nu sunt sigur dar se pare ca nu se prea grabesc.

si aia cu parola de 24 de caractere cum s-ar simti? think about it ; )

oricum, daca asta ar rezolva problema cu botii macar si temporar ar merita chiar si asa
