I want to download all the character sheets in PDF format. All 41 of them. In preparation to delete them. Since I am rolling back my unlimited account to BASIC
Then I get this NONSENSE (I will explain why it is NONSENSE later):
Please verify you are a human
Access to this page has been denied because we believe you are using automation tools to browse the website.
This may happen as a result of the following:
Javascript is disabled or blocked by an extension (ad blockers for example)
Your browser does not support cookies
Please make sure that Javascript and cookies are enabled on your browser and that you are not blocking them from loading.
I could understand if it were copyrighted material from the website and I was opening up multiple pages (which sometimes does happen when looking at multiple sources) that were copyrighted. However?
Why is it NONSENSE:
1. The files are freely downloadable in PDF format as offered by DNDBEYOND.
2. Which begs the question, "Why is an anti-piracy tool blocking content that DNDBEYOND allows to be FREELY DOWNLOADED?"
Here's a suggestion: provide bulk download for content that DNDBEYOND ALLOWS TO BE DOWNLOADED FOR FREE...
...instead of INCONVENIENCING YOUR CUSTOMERS AND LOOKING LIKE AMATEURE WEB DESIGNERS.
It's the little things that will cost you customers during the digital push.
So, I went back to viewing my character sheets one at a time, on only 1 page. Worked for 4 INSTANCES BEFORE THE ANTI-PIRACY PAGE CAME UP TO BLOCK CONTENT THAT DNDBEYOND OFFERS FOR FREE DOWNLOADS.
DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER?
ABSOLUTELYB NOT.
Fix IT.
I FEEL SORRY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME, HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE NONSENSE PAGE.

Kind regards,
This is a pretty common defensive measure for sites that host a lot of content. It seems unlikely they're going to disable it for you.
