Just a small thing, nothing too serious. I think a shopping cart would be great for NPC Shops, cause sometimes I buy lots of items at one go. It's rather painful typing the captcha over and over again for every type of item that I buy, especially when I buy a lot of items in succession. So yea, shopping cart. Just add what I need to it and just type in one, nice short captcha. :D

I mean, I know the whole point of the captcha is to prevent abuse during LE item releases, but it's made everyday shopping ridiculous. How am I supposed to hoard for those quests when things are so troublesome to buy? Unless reducing the amount of items we buy is another thing it's supposed to do, then well, okay. :C If that's the case, could I request to have either 'I's or '1's and not both? That's the most difficult one to tell apart, and impossible when other letters overlap it. :/

Yep. Thanks. <:

Tentative non-support.  I say tentative because I'm not sure how it would work with multiple buyers in the same shop at the same time.  Ex.: I put 4 of A, 3 of B and 5 of C in my "cart."  But the other user has put 2 of A and 2 of C in hers.  Which user gets their selected amount of items?  Does one some and the other get what's left?  Or does one get nothing?

I don't think of the captchas as preventing abuse, I think of them as a "governor" (not the person running a state, but the device that regulates the speed of your car...keeps you from going TOO fast).  :D  One person can't buy up everything in the shop before someone else even has a chance.  If there are two buyers in the same shop, chances are that both will get a fair amount of items the way it is now.  :)

So again, I won't say total non-support.  I'd want to hear more about how it would work with multiple users first.

I'm going to have to agree with Judy. The captcha system was introduced to slow down buying so not only the people with a fast Internet could get the items they wanted. This would not only revert that situation in some ways but it would also be quite complicated to make it fair to 2 people that happened to click at the same time, or even if one clicked just before the other and they had many of the same items in their cart, would only some get bought or would there just be an error and they would have to try again?

In short, no support.

No support for reasons stated above~



Well now. I should... Probably put something intelligent here. At some point. Eventually.
