I tried taking the captcha off, and people started macroing to an extreme degree. If I reduce the attack throttle from 2 seconds to 1 second, that's only going to double in severity. I would consider dropping the throttle time to 1 second though, and see how it goes.

With regards to the captcha though, I'm going to have to leave that up for the moment, until I can find a way to mitigate this problem.

At the very least, I think we need a button on that "attacking too fast" page that allows you to press enter and continue on, instead of messing up your flow.

This is a great idea. There always used to be a Newsletter sent out by email. It'd would let old players know that the game is going somewhere again and hopefully get a great deal of them to return and would help to keep new player involved too. 2 birds, 1 stone!

I plan to, but I want to have a handful of things to tell them about first

Thanks!
