Re: Curiousity Alter
Honestly I think Captcha's should be added to prevent auto-study *And* botting overall.

Sevenless: We already know real life has some pretty shitty game mechanics, it's why we're here instead.
Avu: The end is near it has finally come to pass: I agree with Lunarius...
Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.

Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

This looks a lot more elegant than captchas. Could literally make it 2-4 numbers or letters randomized. I guess a bot could crack it by putting in something to randomly generate a solution when posed, but it would require time to get it right - even then you could counter this by having it changed when the input is done incorrectly 4 times in a row.
Simple for players, hard for bots.

Re: Curiousity Alter
Im suggesting to add some kind of "hunger bar" for curiosities. Should work fine. Chain studying makes you recieve less LP, once your study bar gets a rest, you get the bonuses back.

Yeah let's be incentivized to play the game even less or make more alts.

no righteous man raises his hand against the innocent,

Re: Curiousity Alter
Look, they can either view auto-studying as a form of botting and ban it all together since the client is doing the work or not.
Or the f2p people can suck it up, buy a sub and autostudy themselves. Those who are subbed and dont auto-study, spend 20 minutes gathering your curios and leave your laptop on overnight. Not aloud to leave a device on all night to autostudy? Deal with it. Dont fuck around with those who decide to put the extra effort in.
