So annoying when I succeed a captcha, but it forgets I completed it and requires me to do another. I'm not closing the tab or pressing back button either. It doesn't forget ... something else on your computer just triggers a new captcha.

What Jagex/JMods & The RuneScape Official Forums and RuneScape 3/OldSchool RuneScape do is protect themselves against problems coming from all directions trying to penetrate the security shield Jagex has been putting up for so long.
I am really glad that they actively do keep themselves occupied with the security shield to make sure outsiders are being kept outside the door, unable to get their hands on Jagex's Digital Property.

Any website owner could use a CDN, enable the highest security mode and call it a day with little maintenance required. Look at popular services across the internet and it will become obvious that there is a good reason they do not do this. It is bad practice and frustrates legitimate users. There are plenty of other methods to mitigate attacks or even keep the current state with a persistent login option. The key is finding a balance between security and usability. Low on bank space?

How many 'clicks' are you making a session playing RuneScape?

Just logging in and having to do captcha where there's 8 clicks the top ... ? LOL ...

7 days without captcha, then when I signed in to my old account to get my 15 year cape, it generated a web browser page and logged me in as the old account. I logged out and logged back into Corder, and I get the captcha page. :| Life is like a camera: Just focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out, take another shot !
