[X] YES!
Goddamit that captcha is fucking awful, why won't they use recaptcha?
Atleast I don't have to hit reload 30 times until I get one I have a snowball's chance in hell to get fucking correct
The one for Facepunch? It's impossible. If I ever need to change my password I'm fucked
[QUOTE]Just over a month ago, Valve limited the ability to trade newly purchased games as gifts, making them untradable for thirty days after purchase. Today, further restrictions have been imposed in an effort to prevent hacking via a [B]new method[/B] using malware.[/QUOTE]
You mean the SCR trojan that's been going around since November and has a metric fuck load of variants?
Great response time Valve.
this will also break all the legit donation bots/ scrap banker bots
I love how Vavel keeps catering to the retards who freely hand out their shit. Why punish the unretarded population of Steam?

Does this look legit at all? Like in the fucking slightest?
Even better my profile is private, nobody is allowed to comment on it. If you're dumb enough to fall for this shit its your own fault.

[QUOTE]We’re updating trading to include a captcha as part of confirmation process.

We’ve excluded a few of the existing third-party trading services from this requirement so they can continue to function.[/B] If you have any suggestions on the trading process please let us know.

That's not how it works if you're running customer support, especially if you're weighing a few seconds of occasional inconvenience against a considerable chunk of people getting pissed off and flooding steam support upon getting scammed. As the market grows more popular and people's inventories fill up, the number and severity of those cases is only going to increase.
It's nice if you don't need the extra security, if you have your profile set to private, if you are internet-savvy enough to discern fishing links from image hotlinks - but Valve doesn't create Steam updates for you personally. Try to see it from the perspective of Valve or the average Steam user instead.
For a minute I thought it was going to be for that fucking stupid "You are leaving steam" warning and at least it's to kill malware rather than "we've had hundreds of people whine unendingly at us".
Hey how about you make the trade menu less like a clunky fat turd like the rest of the steam client and actually make it a little functional.

I can't stand that fucking "you are leaving steam" thing. It takes like 10 seconds for the fucking menu to pop up too.
Like I'm not a dumb ten year old child at least give us the option to turn it off.
What they need to do to kill off the bots is to make it impossible for a level 0 (maybe up to 3) "user" to be able to comment, initiate trade offers or add a person. They can receive trade offers or friend requests but can not send them.
The only other realistic alternative is to have captcha happen at login, during commenting or during friend requests and I doubt anyone wants that.

what
Valve catering to the fucking idiots again
Just like the beyond annoying 7 day wait time for trades, removing /me because people believed it was actually steam support and now capchas on every single trade offer
Is there just a fee I can pay to not jump through hoops every time I want to do something on steam

What was so hard about it though?
I kinda have a really hard time reading capchas. I honestly couldn't see any letters in that.

It looks really confusing at first glance but it seems like one of the easier captchas I've seen.
Captcha is one of the most annoying things about the internet.
And this captcha has already been worked around.

So what does this mean for trade bots like the ones on scrap.tf or tf2wh? Did Valve just fucking kill them off? Are there any more ways they can fuck trading up?

They've been whitelisted by SteamID, which is a fucking pain for someone like me who is looking into starting up another automated service because I've gotta get hold of a valve employee, provide proof they'll be used for legit purpose and give them a list of our accounts which will be whitelisted.
It's dumb.
They just switched to reCAPTCHA, it seems.

I still think putting a capcha on a trade is fucking dumb as hell, but the is the way to do it if that absolutely have to.

It should use SteamGuard, they have a secure system which sends codes that no one but you can see. Why all this captcha bullshit?
