I've been complaining about this off and on in the sb so I thought maybe it's good to bring it to here instead.

This is kind of a personal issue in some ways, but I've noticed other users who have trouble reading the captcha codes in shops and end up messing them up many times. I'm not color-blind or anything, but I do have some vision problems that make it hard for me to make out the codes even after refreshing them. When I can see and read them, it still ends up straining my eyes.

I'm sorry if I sound really whiny, but I was wondering if there's any possibility to replace the old captcha with clearer ones that are easier to read? I think it would make the whole buying experience a lot nicer for people who have some vision problems or other accessibility issues. I know the codes are meant to deter bots and things like that, so to a degree they have to be kind of wonky, but after seeing some different captcha on other sites I thought I would still bring it up. ^^

i don't have vision problems, but god damn that green color is just blinding xD can't see it most of the times xD would be nice if the captcha gets worked on, if not, i guess we just need to take extra few seconds trying to read them correctly, good suggestion tho, i'm with u on it

Pachi, yeah, that's where I am with it I think. I obviously won't die, but it would be a nice accessibility feature if we could have easier to read ones so I thought I'd bring it up. :D

it's extremely hard to read, the way the letters overlap causes me to mess up G/C and 1/I, and it's lowkey ugly lmao

Hi! I'm colorblind, and i DEFINITELY support this accessibility feature--I just tried to purchase some stuff from an NPC store and it was nearly impossible for me as red-green colorblind to determine them, I kept messing up

Even if it's just an added au
dio option that'd be nice, but honestly Rescreatu doesn't seem active enough to warrant a captcha in stores rn? Just my two cents!

I support this, I’m not colourblind but man that green is not easy to see against the grey background, usually if I get green too much I change the captcha which is time consuming and frustrating when missing out on high demand event items.

I fully support this!!  I'm the kind of person who's REALLY GOOD at captchas and can get through them quickly but some are super hard and/or completely impossible to read and I think there could be an easier way to do them

Support. Not colorblind, but the clarity of captchas is not super accessible. I do not support getting rid of captchas entirely, though, because I think Res is active enough during peak hours or events that they are warranted.

(ps sorry if this a necropost)
