Bugs are expected - agreed.
Should they announce badges are rewarded for tasks, know its a bug, and not correct it by stating they will datamine? No. totally unacceptable in any case.
Its not good customer service. Putting it in a spot where not every customer will see the announcement of said "bug"is not good customer service.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and Im just stating mine.
Regardless of this occurring to me personally or someone I barely knew - doesnt matter - my opinion remains the same.
The devs need to do the right thing and make sure they are awarded upon patch.
I have not received confirmation that this will be the case, just a PM stating that the fix IS IN the next release.

Why do you need permission to publish it?

Ive done all the Shard TFs multiple times. BUT i understand that badges began with i5 and dont expect them to datamine back to game opening.. thats alot of into to go thru

I have been told it is "unknown" if they will datamine for the Justin TF.
I would think the least they can do is datamine back to i5 release date.
I spent 4 hours to complete this with no reward received. Oh, wait, I got influence - which I dont need.
Yes, I had fun, but Ive done the TF before and the ONLY reason I was doing it again was for the badge.

Anyone else who has run into this issue - make your voice heard. A datamine needs to be done and those heroes who completed trials/TF's since i5 release MUST be given their rewards.
After all the nerfs the ATs have encountered, its the least that can be done.
