The current setup of allowing accolades to be usable only down to the level they were earned should be changed because of the following drawbacks:
1) Promotes unusual behavior on low level characters.
2) Is unfair to higher level charcters.
3) Creates PVP imbalance.
4) Does not match how the rest of the game deals with character development and powers.
The game should allow you to use the Accolades you have earned regardless of your current level.
That's my opinion. What do you think?
[/ QUOTE ]I agree.
One big imbalance lies in the fact that certain villain accolades are tied to badges which CANNOT be gotten early; one is tied to the lv40 villain badge and several are linked to badges in or plaques that are in PvP zones which have minimum required levels to enter. Even the villain equivalent of the Atlas Medallion, Marshall, is tied to a badge which you can only get from the Lord Recluse Strike Force (45-50 mandatory). It is actually possible to get the Atlas Medallion on a lv13 defender (a friend actually managed to get it) and he now has almost all the hero accolades available for the first hero TF and beyond.
I was also disappointed when I tried to get the Vanguard Medal only to find the Rikti Crash Site was lv40+ and yet now it's lv35+
