    I like in game captcha's, these are incredibly easy to implement and could automatically pop up on screen. Any time a player hits x amount of crafts/kills etc in game a captcha pops up fail it and you are locked for a small period of time. Keep failing and your time creases exponentially. Fail too many times and you must contact SE.

    As my current ls has ex GM's from FFXI in it I have herd that they used to use this type of /t's to reported bots they would ask basic math questions like "what is 2+3?" If they failed 2-3 in a row they were banned simple as that.

    Sounds like the feature GMail put in. Solve a math problem to prove you aren't drunk enough to send off an email you will regret later.

    I am against the idea of a prompt or captcha, no matter how automated. Doing a simple math problem wouldn't be an issue for a well made bot. Data mining for possible bots + reports from players + GM monitoring is the method I support. Any more than that and it will interfere with playing too much.
