Captcha appears too often in this game which really reduces gameplay experience.
I don't think it matters for botters if captcha appears after every 3rd stamina replenish or 10th.
I highly suggest that something is done about it.
Here are my suggestions:
a) For each successfully completed captcha reduce captcha occurring chance by certain probability until some limit (e.g. until 20% of current probability of captcha appearing)
b) Reduce probability of captcha occurring all-together.
I know you, Vsyn, want to protect game against illegal players, but I don't see how this frequent captcha makes a difference.
Kind regards.

This won't happen. Most people want MORE captchas since the rewards are useful anyway! They take seconds to complete, so unless you're actually trying to cheat there is no reason to complain about these.

They take seconds to complete, so unless you're actually trying to cheat there is no reason to complain about these. They can get problematic: From my experience - say you are at work restarting stamina is often not single click - which can end up badly or you lose more focus on work than you should. Also, if I'm traveling and playing on teamviewer then completing captcha is more challenging than on laptop. If people want more captchas ok, but can we get any alternative where captchas are little less frequent. For example, strip off all rewards from captcha but make it 30% less frequent. I see no relation between cheating and frequency of captcha - if you can fill me in I would be glad to hear it. |

I was implying that fewer captches means botters get more before being stopped by a captcha. I'm not sure if Vysn likes or care about people using teamviewer. He can chime in if he has an opinion here, but in general captchas help prevent cheating (of course not 100%, there is no 100% way to stop cheating) so reducing their frequency just makes it easier to cheat for longer.
Also please don't attempt to replenish stamina while driving. I'm not implying that's what you meant by traveling and playing on teamviewer, but please anyone that does this is literally putting their lives (and others) at risk for a stupid text game. Do not do this.
Anyway, they're not challenging enough where it should ever be an issue--even on a phone. Please explain why you think captchas are difficult. I've used teamviewer myself and find them no more difficult than at home.

I've used teamviewer myself and find them no more difficult than at home. Traveling was meant in context as: away from keyboard, but I your concern for driving made me laugh :-) Personally my phone internet connection is not fastest, its all pretty laggy, so there are often 5-10 seconds delay between mouse clicks, which if completing captcha adds up. Anyway, its up to Vsyn to see whats his opinion on all of it. I know my gameplay experience would increase big time - I'm sure everyone who is serious about playing this game (these who thrive to achieve many kills per day) would agree. |

If this is something people want and Vysn doesn't consider it a cheating-incentive, then it's a fine idea. Get a less laggy connection if your teamviewer is fucking up that badly though  |

You may want to investigate whether the reduced Captcha is already in place. This system is most similar to BOL which decreases the Captcha frequency as you level. This is due to balancing the Captcha Reward especially towards the higher levels.

This is not the case, captchas are random and don't care about any stats of your account.

i'd like more captchas personally. The rewards are pretty nice and is always a pretty good chunk of stuff for the little effort. Maybe we could have a setting for captcha frequency?

How about: A crystal boost that increases your captcha chance!  |
