I have so far gotten it twice today, 1st time when I visited in 1 FFA country and next when visited in Alliance country, also got it yesterday and only difference between today and yesterday is that I used 2 browsers to "play" EE.

you should get one captcha per browser and per device per day, in theory

I thought you'd changed this to once per week per device? has that been reverted?

I agree Xin. I think its a conspiracy against us because we're so EEVIL.

Please dude, change it back.., I know it was supposed to stop a babysitter from logging in and walling, but really its stopping anyone from logging in and walling. Or is that the idea?

It really is a pain in the ass for everyone. Doing capchas over and over from an iPhone is terrible.

How about having the captcha STRICTLY for logging into the alliance server? How's that for a bright idea? WTF, everytime that server sneezes we all catch a cold!!!

I enter about 9 captchas a day including bonuses.

Sometimes when the 2nd bonus doesnt work, I have to login via a proxy and more CAPTCHAs!

Its very difficult to discern captcha on an android. Sometimes I require 3-4 attempts.

That's a pretty good one, heh. All the other servers don't really have a botting problem, particularly the solo servers - you hardly ever need to wall on those, if ever.

If you like bots on whatever server you're playing on...? I mean we could, but if botting became an issue... FFA would probably need a captcha, as that's the most natural for botting....

It's pretty good on my Galaxy Nexus?

Anyway, I'll be looking into the extra captchas, have some data to look at now...

I just pushed in some stuff designed to be a bit more mobile friendly.

Also, you should now get a green checkbox beside your login button if everything is working properly. If you get the green checkbox, you should only have to answer a captcha once a week on that device. If you don't, then let me know!!

had a couple of no captchas when logging in and out of my laptop, but after all the captchas going in and out of wifi, or full site to mobile site on my cell, I still had to captcha the laptop again..

Obviously this captcha system is not working as intended to recognize devices.

Are you using private browsing mode, Serpentor?

Not sure, that shouldn't make a difference to my laptop though. What is that private browsing switch for anyways?

It deletes cookies and history of sites browsed while in private mode so that on your next startup, it is as though you never visited those websites before in your life.

I think I may actually be having a caching issue that's a result of upgrading PHP to 5.5 (APC got changed/integrated in an odd way); I may have to adjust when the catpcha is done to fix the caching...
