I'm grinding in the coli and just thought of this.
So I tend to (on fests) grind in the Coliseum for fest stuff, eggs, elims, you get the point. I have one level 25 dragon, fully stoned, set up, and I'm headed into training grounds.
Usually it's simple. AEQ your enemies into the ground, and move through the coli with ease.
Except the unskipable 'minigame' if you can even call it that
Edit: ok so it's apparently a captcha. Didn't know this-
Look you could change it to something that actually works? Like, isn't god awful? Like, 'click these 3 familiars to progress! This is to prevent botting!' so people actually know that because if you're like me and disappear for a while then find this thing with no explanation I don't think most would assume it's to prevent botting. The idea is to just have 3 randomly generated familiars appear in different spots each time to make sure bots can't just click the same 3 areas each time, but to make sure that we're not squinting at our screens trying to find a dragon that sometimes when you click it doesn't work...
I can understand preventing botting. This site has an economy and we don't want it screwed over. But make it less of a hassle on the grinders who earn their stuff the fair way!

EgoLobster The capchas aren't a minigame that's just there for fun, they're there to prevent botting.

Sadly that's not a mini-game, it's a captcha to prevent botting. So it's not going anywhere. Though it's awful and should be improved for better usability, people have been complaining since it came out and staff hasn't done anything so that may not happen either.

oh, I didn't know that. I can see why they'd want to use that but couldn't it be something... less awful? Like, maybe, 'click these 3 familiars!' and then you'd click all 3 of them (they'd be randomly put around the screen) then it'd be back to the game? It'd be a lot better imo

Click these three familiars is easier to bot because we have a limited pool of familiars
Like, 90% of improvements people suggest wouldn't just benefit humans, they'd also benefit bots.

that's true. This just kinda sucks and I want to grind in peace. Besides, even with the current system, it's avoidable. If I could program a bot to spam button combos depending on the amount of enemies, I could also have it (when it notices it's combos aren't working) refresh the page and reopen the venue, just like that.

Could it be something similar instead to google's "find all boxes with a car"?

I can see the cars at least c:
I am generally guessing what is a dragon in the capchas when I grind. Many times I am wrong.
It could be set up like a 3x3 grid, with a few familiar faces (ha) and some inorganic items (no food) or something, and you just click the familiars and that's it!

A little example !

Maybe the hearts can be removed so bots cannot be programmed to look for that specific shade of pink?
