Unlike a large proportion of raiders who view badge grinding as bad I see it as a way to bridge gaps in content and especially in rng gearing.<br /><br />The current concept of badges per tier is a nice one in that it rewards you for doing the current tier of content however it fails in that there is no way to make up for lost time. My suggestion would simply be to allow you to buy up badges rather than buy down.<br /><br />10 Emblems of Heroism = 1 Emblem of Valor<br />10 Emblems of Valor = 1 Emblem of Conquest<br />10 Emblems of Conquest = 1 Emblem of Victory<br />10 Emblems of Victory = 1 Emblem of Getting Silly Now<br /><br />Thus it is possible to farm heroics for top tier gear (10 heroics averaging 4 badges an instance = 40 badges a day = 4 emblems of Valor, meaning rough top end valors would be about 50 valor badges a weeke or 5 conquest... its not a fast route but its faster than nothing) and this can be devalued over time through daily quests, "Utgarde Pinnacle has been invaded by - 'Minion of Arthas', kill him for 2 Emblems of Getting Silly Now".<br /><br />Thus people that work at it can achieve gear through perseverence, and actually advance without a guild (sometimes it happens, you are in a guild that cannot do content but do not currently want to leave - Gevlon would hate it but its a social factor).2nd Ninhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18415648946567949701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26788501.post-60652836413546961172009-06-09T09:47:32.479Z2009-06-09T09:47:32.479ZI think it's a really good idea, and very cons...I think it's a really good idea, and very consistent (and surely more exciting that just +2 on every stat), but what do you do for people who come in later and need to catch up?Spinkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00100865526015929517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26788501.post-45634223976830621112009-06-09T03:38:02.071Z2009-06-09T03:38:02.071ZNow that is an interesting post.
