I myself almost quit this game after doing one auto and instantly getting a captcha, I almost quit the game there and then.
I'm happy I didn't quit it but that's besides the point.
When a player is still discovering the game and trying to find out how it works, they shouldn't have a chance to already get a captcha, I eventually ended up trying the game a bit more and realize that the gameplay was worth facing the horrible captcha's every half an hour ( or sometimes 3 in 5 minutes). But to someone who's entirely new, they now have the idea that captcha's are insanely frequent as they got them right after starting to play, and they haven't explored the game enough yet to make the decision whether the game is worth staying over the captcha's.
I'm saying this after reffing a few people IRL and none of them have ever played this genre of game before, everyone was extremely negative towards the captcha's and I had to tell two of them to keep playing after they just got instantly bombarded by a captcha on the two first auto waves.
I propose a 100 action window or something where a new player can't get a captcha, give them some time to fight and discover the game before bombarding them with the most off-putting thing about these kind of games.
Just for the record, I know why this kind of game needs to use captcha's and everyone familiar with these kinds of games knows that, but this genre has a very small public and many people coming in to this game have never played anything like it.
