January 7, 200719 yr This picture shows an example of a captcha, used to allow carbon-based organisms log in, and to keep everything else out. Now why can't we have something like this on RuneScape? It would greately impede the autoers' onslaught, since these are designed for confusing bots so they can't log in. As an additional bonus, they should only consist of 3-5 letters, and thus will not take long to decipher, therefore completely ELIMINATING the need for those annoying randoms. In my opinion, most randoms are unnecessary and usually only serve as many minor annoyances to a player that adds up. Besides, if there were about 100 autoers cutting down Yew Trees behind Varrock Castle, chances are that only about 1 or 2 of them will be caught in a random in about an hour. Is this good enough? The only way I can see to get rid of more autoers and still not inconvenience players more than it should, is with the captcha. Are YOU carbon-based?
January 7, 200719 yr they are very annoying especially the ones that are really hard to read..if they do that they should just be a random word, they still wouldn't be able to "read" it... Sig by me....
January 7, 200719 yr they are very annoying especially the ones that are really hard to read..if they do that they should just be a random word, they still wouldn't be able to "read" it... I'm pretty sure bots can scan the "word" or the image and input it easily. it must be warped to block bots. Good idea, might get annoying, but its helpful.
January 7, 200719 yr Author Annoying? I just got taken away by Leo about 5 minutes ago, leaving my 6 nature runes and big bones on the floor from a drop. Now THAT'S annoying, considering all I get as a reward is 500 coins, and the fact that nature runes are kind of a semi-rare drop from moss giants. In fact, assuming Big Bones are 300 each, and nature runes are 300 each, I just lost 1.6K, PLUS I have to help him with his little job. I think reading and typing in a few letters is faster than doing jobs :|
January 7, 200719 yr TY so much for ripping off my idea... search threads for an end to autoers and pjers everywhere Also you stole my damage color idea... anything else of mine you want to rip off? Your name is "bet you fail", and you're starting a business with your mom? I'm not even going to touch that.....
January 7, 200719 yr Support. Warp the image more however. And please don't make it between colors, a) bots'd get through probably B) I know there's people who play RS who are color blind to some degree (I know, I'm one of them), just like they changed the box event to shapes. But don't do shapes either. But good idea though :) There's cake through here, apparently.
January 7, 200719 yr Author What? You mean you thought of this too? I only have one other good idea that I'm saving, but I don;'t know if I should even post it -.-
January 7, 200719 yr What? You mean you thought of this too? This is what i mean -.- Your name is "bet you fail", and you're starting a business with your mom? I'm not even going to touch that.....
January 7, 200719 yr I don't think it would really change it. It would get rid of the autoers that have to change worlds, but for WC bots people can still log them on then leave.
January 8, 200719 yr Are YOU carbon-based? No, I'm selenium-based, and I find that question offensive. But, as for the idea, ehh, it's too easy to get around, like munchkinmage said. Part of the Star Traks network. (^^Clicky!) Irony: An amnesiac rediscovering they have an eidetic memory.
January 8, 200719 yr I don't think it would really change it. It would get rid of the autoers that have to change worlds, but for WC bots people can still log them on then leave. Not only that, but what about fatigue on RSC? The programmers of bots thought of a way to deal with that and it wasn't an OCR. They could just remake the same program.
January 8, 200719 yr but if someone logs im then turn on their auto it would still work and the the idea wont Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy.
January 8, 200719 yr bots dont have to auto login... thry just get help (5 sec from a real person) ^^ click my sig for my lesser ranging guide ^^jwrm22: 4816th > 99 cooking 100% f2p !1172 total! + 140mil in items.i dont play anymore... i think rs is ruined
January 8, 200719 yr I supprot this idea :) Really nice idea, I think! Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak

January 8, 200719 yr A way to really stop autoers is to just not allow anyone to create a new account and all p-mods and j-mods will go around the whole runescape and worldhop to ban all bots.

He's not complaining about 1.6k, just the inconvenience of randoms. I think this idea is great! :)
January 9, 200719 yr this idea is total rubbish. there were captchas in fatigue system for rs classic, which i used to play, and it made it very irritating as you had to type a captcha once in like 5 minutes. also, read this. http://sam.zoy.org/pwntcha/
January 9, 200719 yr Okay, I used to play classic. And still do on the odd occasion I was there when people could "impulse" mine. Because if you mined an ore, and you didn't have room for it, it would automatically drop. When fatigue came in, there we NO autoers... at all If you need to stop to restore your "fatigue" by resting in a sleeping bag (yes, we did have them) to stop people autoing, I say bring back the fatigue! This move by jagex would slow the economy as there would be less iron, coal and other ores coming into the economy, but it would reduce the amount of non-carbon based life forms down to near zero, and isn't that what Runescape is about? Trying to get a new sig... Idea's anyone?
January 10, 200719 yr Anything to get rid of Auto's.... And yes this would make a good idea... Doomy edit: I like sheep
January 11, 200719 yr Forums have a random number generation script when you try to register, why not implent that? That stops all bots on forums? Why cant it on Runescape? Good idea. SUPPORTAGE FTW!
