[Campaign] Please add CAPTCHAs to campaign

I think people using scripts to bot campaign has gotten even worse. I know CAPTCHAs are annoying but I think it's a worthy trade off to ensure that the system can't be easily abused. Not having a basic security like this in place devalues the effort of wild wolf hunters that have put hundreds of hours into actually grinding campaign.
I don't know anything about coding or how other sites like Flight Rising have it set up but-1 CAPTCHA per 30-60mins would be ideal or maybe every 5 wild wolf encounters? If I do a focused grind for one hour that usually gets me between 10-20 encounters so I think entering a CAPTCHA every time would be a lot but heck, at this point I'd even be happier with that then letting the bots continue to roam free.

Editing in an addition in response to some feedback: I dislike CAPTCHAs as much as the next person but there's a reason they exist-to help stop or at least limit cheaters. A necessary evil, if you will. I think having staff devote time to policing isn't as realistic of an ask as setting up a CAPTCHA. It would be easier/more cost effective (I imagine) for them and so I would rather ask for something I'm more likely to get.

Support if we can choose between a variety of captchas (so we don't end up with any inaccessible ones or the awful box one where a very tiny bit of the traffic light is in the next box.)

- As an example of this my favorite is actually the old style text one as it's fairly easy for me to read but I know that style is an accessibility issue for a lot of people, however I have issues with the one where it's one big picture and you have to select which ones contain an item but a tiny fragment can go into a box and whether or not that one counts is a coin toss.

No support however for tying them to wild wolves as that would make losing the encounter even more frustrating (unless the captcha gives a benefit like at least a 5% increase to the chance of getting one.)

Support.

Any word from the devs on this would actually be super appreciated, too, since most suggestion posts seem like screaming into the void lately with no staff interaction on them. I find it difficult to be more upset with the people who are botting than LW at this point since there seems to be absolutely no logs to catch someone using a (easily accessible) script at the moment because it seems like people can do it endlessly and just stop if CAPCHAS are introduced with no repercussions because there is no reviewing logs. It's embarrassing that someone can run campaign for 2 weeks 24/7 and there's no system to in place to stop them or even catch them doing it after the fact.

Hello! I don’t support this a whole lot as I don’t like capchas, but I guess if it prevents people from abusing the system then maybe once an hour wouldn’t be so terrible.

No support for CAPTCHAs specifically, since they are an accessibility and privacy nightmare!

But I do support some alternate solution for botting-- be it logs that can be flagged (for humans to look at, crucially) for abnormal amounts of consecutive grinding time or looking for inhumanly quick, consistently timed inputs. The important part is the automatic system just trips a flag for a human to look at, though... It would add more necessary oversight, but I don't think that's a bad thing. It helps keep automatic things from just auto-banning folks that are just legitimately grinding for a while, which would be... unfortunate during the quarterly events.

@Reave


That’s a great idea! I 100% support your alternative solution for botting instead of capchas!
