The apparent intent for the delay between attacks is to prevent a cheater from gaining an unfair advantage. I did my first attack run in a while and all it did was irritate me over and over again. In fact, the delay gives cheaters the advantage since they'll can just program their own delay to never get that error.

You're giving cheaters an unfair advantage over legitimate players. Can you please cut the delay in half?

I remember fighting for this years ago.

I hope you can manage to convince CK et al. to make a delay change because, I agree, it makes the game annoying to play.

Have captchas and remove the delay entirely. Or make it super brief, at least. No reason to have a long delay that pops up regularly - it should only be catching abnormally fast actions.

You're right they can program in a precise delay and we have to go with one sometimes two error pages and get probably .5 seconds or more slow.  I think that there should be a different way of catching cheaters because apparently currently they are not being stopped by the delay or the captcha.
