The "inverted colors" for random letters is a pain in the butt to read frequently. Even worse when it splits a letter in two.
That's becoming the only thing that really makes me grumble. The occasional Cyrillic word popping up just brings a bit of a chuckle and a "generate new image" click. The inverted color thing, though, is eyestrain incarnate.
I think if it were any captcha other than REcaptcha, I would have given up by now. It's for a doubly-good cause though, so they get cut some slack. I'm wondering if there's no way to request "all tricks except the insanely eyetwisting color flipping" images from the generators.

I was about to start a thread on this when I spotted this one. I understand that some sort of system is needed to screen out bots and spam but posting is actually becoming a frustration. It would be more user friendly if the words required were actually in english. That might help in making out what letters are required when it is unclear. We need to screen out bots, but at the moment it seems to be on the verge of screening out humans too.

Wowhead's only option is to use another service, they don't control reCAPTCHA's images.
Would you prefer this one?

I can't read that one at all to be honest. It's much worse!

I really don't understand why Google doesn't use ReCaptcha. I absolutely hate that Captcha.

Bots and other similar things can't use Captcha.

I like the captchas that ask a question and force you to answer it. Keeps out the bots and the ignoramuses.

You obviously haven't used Wowhead's homemade captcha.
It's better than this store bought crap.
Edit: Upon further review, you obviously
have
used the homemade captcha. Why do you think you would have given up on it by now? I thought it was very simple, easy to use, and consistently functional.
Edit Edit: Unlike ReCaptcha.
I meant, compared to other third-party captchas. REcaptcha serves a nice purpose beyond keeping out bots.
