Select all the buses. Click on bikes. Does this photo have traffic lights? As ridiculous as these questions are, you’re almost guaranteed to have seen one recently. They are a way for online services to separate humans from bots, and they’re called CAPTCHAs. CAPTCHAs strengthen the security of online services. But while they do that, there’s a very real cost associated with them.
It takes a user on average 32 seconds to complete a CAPTCHA challenge. There are 4.6 billion global Internet users. Assume a typical Internet user sees approximately one CAPTCHA every 10 days.
This very simple napkin math equates to somewhere in the order of 500 human years wasted every single day — just for us to prove our humanity.

Wouldn’t it take quite a while to put a Captcha system into the game? Kind of a crazy measure to take imo.
I’m all for fixing the bot problem, but seeing as they refuse to even fix basic bugs like Wild Growth, I doubt they will create a Captcha check in-game. They seem way too lazy
I hate captcha.
Bots can read captcha

Bots can read it better than humans.
I’ve seen some captcha I go…damn, I can’t read this crap. Redo. redo. redo. yay, I think I got this one.

The system already exists for certain countries, and some people who use VPN’s that constantly swap their location can encounter a Captcha when they try to log in.
All Blizzard has to do is figure out a way to make Captcha’s mandatory in order to queue for a BG/Enter a BG. I’m with you, I doubt they’ll do that, as it still requires much more effort on their part than they obviously wanna give the the game, but the system in Wrath already exists, so they’re halfway there.
