Can we get a Captcha on the stocks page?
I'm sitting here watching scrapers/bots buy out billions of dollars the second they are injected.

If you are fast enough finding it to watch it disappear are you a bot too?
I’ll say the same thing I said to the guy who posted this 1 minute after you, take off your tinfoil hat. There’s no bots buys stocks, it’s people stalking for days/weeks at a time and you’re just salty their effort is rewarded and you want to be able to saunter in and buy whenever you feel like it
You are right...
There are no bots in Torn.

You have no concept of what happens when stocks are bought. Some captcha process isn't going to stop a bot picking up information from the API, nor is it in the majority of cases going to stop people who religiously refresh the market to watch for inserts, with the exception of poor timing.
Really don't think you understand how this isn't going to help you in the slightest. The people buying faster than you are just more dedicated, for popular stocks like HRG not even bots can register the insert fast enough.

I find it kind of hilarious that the API driven bots that are allowed ran the market for like a year and no one cared. Then stocks became so competitive that people started checking constantly to beat the 15minute API delay and THAT is where everyone became a bot the masses.
