Bots usually roll as my background activity, so at times I train or fight once every 5 minutes or so. I think many people do.

If possible, could you implement captchas after a certain number of fights, so I don't have to solve those at times ridiculously hard captchas every 4 fights?

Making it ~50 fights every captcha would feel way better gameplay smoothness wise.

i definitely agree, sometimes its just captcha - fight - boss comes - fight again - captcha

:D

How does it defeat the purpose of captcha? You still can't solve it automatically. Hell, make it pop randomly every 30-100 fights, as long as it's within reason.

And as the above poster said, it's fight - work - fight - phone call - fight - boss comes - captcha.

20% of my bots4 gaming time is spent on captchas, it just feels awkward.

Sounds like your complaining because you have a job where you can play bots, I think complaining about that is lame.

It's not just at jobs. I get distracted constantly.

Captcha - fight - email - fight - YT vid with cats - captcha - fight - nature calls - captcha - fight

And every time i see a captcha, my first thought is 'fuck it'.

They are a necessary evil, but number of fights seems much more logical than time. If it's a number between 100 and 300 fights, people who do 3-sec fights (what?) can still go 10 mins on average. While others (me) would only have to do one captcha a day. I never do more than a couple of trains/fights.

Jans has nailed the point here.

Sometimes I go ten minutes clicking on bots only two or three times. At those times it becomes annoying to see a captcha after only two fights.

When I really play, I mean, clicking as soon after the fight ends as I can manage, thinking of that pace, one captcha every, I don't know, a hundred and fifty fights, doesn't seem so bad. One hundred-fifty six-second fights = fifteen minutes. So, unless you're used to constantly raping one-hit whores, I don't know how this could cause too much trouble.

I have to admit that the captcha in Bots 4 is rather annoying. More so then in Bots 2.

My reasons: (1) It comes up much too often, (2) It's hard to recognize some of the letters which then require a 2nd and sometimes 3rd try. (3) It sometimes comes up for the first train when I first log on and then constantly there after..

Is it trying to catch an auto clicker on the very first fight? How often does it need to be checking for auto clickers? Every 1 or 2 or 5 minutes? (which is the time it seems to come up, every 2 to 5 min or so).

Most game check for a human player when they first log in t the game or for the first time they do a fight. Not constantly every few minutes while the fighting is going on.

To be blunt. It's a pain in the ass. Is there some other way to catch auto click cheaters? Can the thing be adjusted or even get something that is shorter and easier to see..... Just saying...

Oh, one other thing. If you are playing more then one bot then it seems like all you are doing is inputting the captcha, constantly... That thing is starting to drive me insane and I'm crazy enough all ready...

I honestly don't the problem... at all.

Captcha only comes up every 15 minutes. This is not a problem for me, and as stated previously, I can play while I work, so still no complaints there.

The problem I have, is that capctha exists. The words have become impossible to read, sometimes even using pictures. I'm all for the new system where you try to discern pictures of animals, as I do not need to read illegible "words".
