As it happens, I like the badges. I think it's a great idea. They do add a lot to the game for me.

However, I think it's a collosal error to create new content and not allow your long term subscribers any way to access that content. There are several badges that I'd have to exemplar to get, and I don't mind that. I probably can't ever get the defeat Contaminated badge, but that only modestly bugs me. However, I had more than one TF bail on me in the past before finishing. After spending 6 hours of my day stomping on clockworks the first time, I think someone should at least provide a way for me to get that badge if I go through the whole effort again.

I play a Tank. I've got patience and determination. But I already started my tank caracter over once before Respec came along. While I may be willing to start again if I I really want a full set of TF badges...I will not do this a third time. As a semi-casual player, I ought to be able to get a character past SL 28 in five months.

If I understand this correctly, and I would appreciate an official answer, if;
1. I completed a TF prior 9/9
2. I was not the leader of the TF and completed it prior to Issue 2's releas.
3. I do not have the badge already.
4. There is no way to gain the badge now.

Is this correct?

I'm basing this on the following items:
1. Last data mining was 9/9. All badges from prior to 9/9 that will be awarded, have been handed out.
2. Data was not recorded prior to Issue 2 regarding members of TF's, only leaders.
3. It is not currently possible to Exemplar into a TF, and there are no plans in the future to make this possible.
