I got this too when I was dual boxing a few weeks ago. I think they're upping the ante on captcha techniques.

It might be related to the authenticator, too.

Do you have an authenticator on your accounts? i do and do not get this pop up ( not yet at least )

This happened a couple of weeks ago too, but it was a MasterPlan Addon April Fools joke. I tried to replicate the issue with 5 and 10 characters using ISBoxer and had no trouble. I also have an authenticator, so there's that.

Add-ons have no control over anything on the login screen (outside of the basic reskinning of button textures, but those are not located in the AddOns folder). OP is referring to this:

I'll add that I haven't experienced this, and that I too have an authenticator attached to my BNet account.

Also, if you go to WoW's general discussion forum telling people that you're going to quit if something (especially as minor as this) doesn't change, well... You're going to get no sympathy and Blizzard is going to call your bluff. Honestly, the post was better suited for the customer support forum than the cesspool of general discussion.

Ah, I hadn't realized it was at the login screen. I still haven't seen it come up in person. SMH, Captcha in the login screen is honestly pretty lame. I hate captchas normally, but tied to a login for a game is just silly.

I could see it as being annoying, but never would I think posting a complaint about it on the blizzard forums to be a good idea.

posting on the wow forums expecting a constructive discussion?
