I finished that bit of OCD a few years ago and have made sure I've finished off any new arcs that have been added since then.

Now even though I would automatically get these new suggested badges were they added to the game I would not say that I'm automatically in favor of them being added. Unfortunately as people like Thirty-Seven summarized there would be a number of problems with such badges, not the least of which is his point #4.

For what it's worth I'm happy enough knowing I was already insane enough to finish all the Ouro arcs off regardless.

However, badge credits should be awarded from arc completion, regardless if done in Ouroboros or in realtime. This is like how you can see your completed arcs in the Pillar of Ice and Flames: arcs completed outside of Ouroboros are starred too.

Point 4 by Thirty-Seven is a strong point against these badges. I'm not sure the best way to solve this. Maybe have several sets of badges for arcs grouped by year. Grouping by issue yields 3*24, which is probably too many.

If you're into badges, you're probably already working on a bunch of the more tedious badge groups (the current set of Ouro badges, the Invention badges, iTrial Master runs). This would just add fuel to the flames. Add to that the requirement to do a bunch of the game's less interesting content (most of the interesting arcs already have badges associated with them so a badger has already done them), and it's just going to be a tedious slog. Between badging and a terminal case of alt-itis, I have enough stuff to do in the game, thanks.

EDIT: Also, many badgers have one hero and one villain badger, dating back to the days before side-switching. Crossing over to get the other side's badges was annoying enough, I'm not doing every single damn arc on both sides twice.

I can speak only for myself, but when I say:

- "I don't like that the final fight of this trial relies on healing so much", I am NOT saying "this trial is too hard" NOR "I want this trial to be easy".

"I don't like that the final fight of this trial relies on healing so much" means "I don't like that the final fight of this trial relies on healing so much".

- "I would rather see it work this way", I am NOT saying "the devs should change it to be this way" NOR "the game should be designed around what I want".

"I would rather see it work this way" means "I would rather see it work this way".

- "This mechanic makes very specific powersets much, much more useful than others", I am NOT saying "you have to have these specific powersets to succeed" NOR "no other powerset can do the task".

"This mechanic makes very specific powersets much, much more useful than others" means "this mechanic makes very specific powersets much, much more useful than others"

Finally, giving negative feedback on a specific mechanic doesn't mean one feels forced to do the trial, nor that they'll run it again.

If you stop assuming everyone who disagrees with you has some kind of hidden agenda, who knows, you might just find these complaints can make sense from a different perspective ; and if you still really can't see any value in that and keep getting frustrated, may I remind you that nobody is forcing you to read these forum posts? You won't even get a shiny costume or a lore pet for doing so.
