Why Doesn't Nexon Use Captchas?

A lot of websites use captchas to slow down bot account creation. Sure captchas don't stop bots, it just makes them require manual input too (some advanced bots are capable of completing captchas even).

I've seen a few suggestions to add cell phone verification, or using KMS' system, but I don't think I've ever seen captchas suggested.

Captchas can help to slow down game, and forum bot accounts, and don't require a user to enter anything personal, or have a cell phone.

    Captchas are a must in my opinion, as well as 2 factor authentication.
