I see that there's plenty of mention towards getting the CAPTCHA on Forums login... Do people not receive the same amount of CAPTCHA requests on Client Login? I do.

I don't think I've ever had a Captcha for the game/client log in.
Oddly enough, I haven't had one for the forums today either.
Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?

Yesterday I had Captcha logging in and logging out. I thought it might be due to leaving my browser on the wiki page for Wintumber Aurora for a long time. I wasn't logged in to the website when I opened the wiki page then at least an hour later I decided to log in to browse the forums. It wanted me to identify boats on both occasions. :P

A forced CAPTCHA each time a user wishes to login, without a persistent login option, is not user friendly, nor is it encouraged design. There is really not a lot of benefit to requiring the CAPTCHA challenge on the first login attempt rather than third unsuccessful attempt from the same client. All this is doing right now is agitating legitimate users. Low on bank space? Click here .

Especially when you want to go and make account changes while logged in already, having to continuously be asked for credentials makes it a negative user experience overall. Most modern websites are able to not have this issue.

I spoke too soon, Captcha returned for me yesterday.

Logged in - Captcha
I tried to check Runemetrics - it logged me out and asked for another Captcha.

I'm all for security features but that's silly. I shouldn't have to log in again and complete another Captcha such a short time after initial log in.

The CAPTCHA's are way too frequent. I've gotten to the point where I just close the forums when I'm presented with one.

I had captcha when logging into the website and logging out again last night. Once more it wanted me to identify boats? Why the obsession with boats? O_o
