Zugbop Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I've got a little over 2500 trades and 31 market transactions...no bp.tf automatic for me then. And without automatic I'm not going to be able to get enough trades to be able to avoid the captcha... This seems to be splitting the community arbitrarily into those who can use bots and those who can't, with little ability for traders to actually jump from one group to the other.

Xven (◡ ‿ ◡ ✿) Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Well, you can easily verify that by trying to send a trade offer. Captcha will appear after you click the ready "button". well the backpack.tf bot can still accept trades so i guess im fine... however i had that error yesterday I've got a little over 2500 trades and 31 market transactions...no bp.tf automatic for me then. And without automatic I'm not going to be able to get enough trades to be able to avoid the captcha... This seems to be splitting the community arbitrarily into those who can use bots and those who can't, with little ability for traders to actually jump from one group to the other. if you are vip on scrap.tf just spam trades there maybe? i wonder if someone will make a website which will send tons of trade offers so that people can get whitelisted...

Brad Pitt Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 the captcha stuff will probably get reverted, way too many people are complaining about it and it is not really effective, the phishers have already implemented the captchas in their phishing bots..

HusKy Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Captcha has been cracked ages ago. It's like enabling WEP on your router - it doesn't do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainford Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 It might be because of the new captcha code you have to enter when sending/receiving trade offers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddingkip Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 This is most likely due to the captcha update For future reference please post problems with bp.tf automatic in the automatic help thread http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/topic/20204-backpacktf-automatic-help-thread/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zugbop Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 The captcha has been replaced with reCaptcha for me, but I suppose it'll still stop bots from working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HusKy Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Well, this one is definitely harder to break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Communist Moose Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Well, this one is definitely harder to break. They should remove this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobyIndie Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Well, this one is definitely harder to break. For those who are not recognized as bots it should be as easy as simulating "normal" mouse behaviour over the checkbox and then clicking it. For those that get a captcha with reCaptcha well... It's looking grim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, apparently some 3rd party services can solve latest reCaptcha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akrylon Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 thats true... and they just replaced it with googles recaptcha.=( and the whitelist seams to be gone aswell i have to enter captcha but i have over 22k trades Probably relies on market transactions too, seeing as you could just spam trades back and forth between accounts. I have no captchas, and have 13k trades and 7k market transactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
