The CAPTCHA mechanism is the single most annoying feature I have seen ever. Period. It is a pain to type in, and I don't feel like I should -ever- have to prove I am not a bot by typing in a silly code, its bad enough on website confirmations. It also cheapens the feel of a game... "wow bottings a big enough problem in this game there is a CAPTCHA mechanism, should i even continue to play??"
There are many ways to avoid that evil mechanism through coding and other methods, that to use this is plain silly. If it means no pause, tempselect, whatever in macros -ever- so be it, much better then a CAPTCHA mechanism.
Amen!
I play a browser game with Captcha. ACK!
In fact as currently coded, Ryzom has a very low incidence of botting because it takes a lot of effort to bot, and there isn't much to gain by it.
