    Runescape had a captcha code required everytime you needed to recover from fatigue for a few months, then people made a program that streamed the captcha and displayed it to a chat room for hundreds of other players to try and type in first to get a good ratio of using and answering. Worked so well that jagex had to think of a new system lol.

    That is epicly hilarious. Seriously though, SE should know by now, ESPECIALLY when working with MMOs, that you have to think like the player. And players will go to ridiculous ends in order to cheat a system. Which, again, leaves me to believe that they had to know people would be using turbo controllers. I mean, come ON!
