Devs, badges are causing a serious problem

i've been doing my low level badges and found I have no problem with interfering with other people.
1. I patrol a relatively small area, by the time I get to one end, the other has respawned. The rest of the zone is free.
2. I try to patrol when the zone is relatively empty. If that means patrolling really late at night, so be it.
3. I group with my friends so we can both share the credit for the same mobs, and get done even faster.
I know I'm going badge crazy with my main, but I sincerely doubt I will go and earn all these badges with my 3 alts.

ah ... damn you last ....i thought some tard had actually just done this ...
i couldnt understand why anyone would be so concerned over badges ...
kinda makes everything seem trivial ..
we could take any number of I5 threads a few months from now and probably get a similar response
you deep deep person you ..... thats heavy 
Ahh, a Forum Necromancer!
There's only one thing to do now: engage in massive flame wars to burn away all our dead posts so that none will ever arise again once it has fallen to its doom.
Now, let us stock up on holy water and asbestos suits.
I was wondering why that guy who made a character before the isolater badge only had a 19. Guess he really isnt a power gamer.

Bad thread necromancer! BAD!!
<qr> whoa, a Friggin_Taser post is in here...I swore they ran a script on the boards to remove "they whom shall not be named"...wait. dammit!
*sigh* Why do people do this?
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

You know...I'm kinda bored, so I suppose I'll actually answer a rhetorical question in all seriousness. Some of us have a rather weird sense of humor, and actually find it funny. Now, if I thought it was actually something that I thought was a true nuisance (such as Rick-rolling), then I wouldn't do it. On other occasions, I do it because there really has been an issue that has reappeared, and rather than start a new thread and listen to the "use your search engine, n00b" comments, I'll drag something up from the crypts. Admittedly, this is rarely the case, but it does happen, and I don't want the entirety of the community to mistakenly think that EVERYTHING I do is for pure silliness sake. I do have a brain.
All that being said, in order for a thread to be revived from the dead, it requires feedback...I am not the sole motivating factor in the equation. So, if you honestly feel what I have done is stupid, or wasteful in some way, please, feel free to abstain from replying, or even go so far as to PM me. I'll probably actually apologize for stepping on your sensibilities, because I'm honestly a nice guy who's just trying to have a little fun

Sorry, but if you do it in public, you should expect that sometimes you're going to get called onto the carpet in public. That seems fair to me.
I think it's annoying and the fact that you think it's a great gimmick, make a big deal about it in your avatar, and made a guide about it is something I find pretty sad.
If this is what you want to be known for, you have some pretty low expectations of yourself. You have a lot more going for you than this, and I think it's sad that this is what you choose to hightlight.

Wow...I honestly did not know you felt that way, Missi...wish you had told me sooner 
It's all ok...if I recall correctly, the joke started from me rezzing threads which actually had a point, and either way, I'm sure based on your response, the joke's run its course now, anyway. So allow me to formally apologize to the entire community (for if Missi, whom I truly respect and suspect echos the feelings of the vast majority of the community, says it's time to throw in the towel, she's probably right. She usually is ), and let everyone know I shan't be doing it again (barring the need to dig up some useful information, of course).
Once again...sorry for the drama
srs bsns going here
Justice would have had more of a sense of humor about it Frog.
I got a kick out of it! Honestly though to the people who scolded Frog over this. Grow up. There are much worse things in life to stress over than a necro'd thread.

I'm from Justice and I wouldn't appreciate it there, either. Sometimes good threads come back, and that's fine. I think it's good to bring back threads that are valuable but have fallen to the bottom of the heap where no one notices them. This kind of thread, where information is old and should have long been forgotten, shouldn't be brought back. If confuses people and spreads disinformation, which is not something to value unless you work for the CIA.

Well, it gave me a laugh.
I didn't bother looking at the dat of the OP and went "What the [censored] is this [censored] guy even [censored] talking about? What a [censored] idiot!"
Then I looked, and I laughed.

OK, gang...I'm going to say one last thing on the matter, then you may consider this point dead, much as I should have left this stupid thread.
First off, it was all done as a joke. Was it a particularly good one? No, and in a way, yes, it IS sad - but then, my employment keeps me pretty bored, so in the search of what to do, I accidently made a reputation for myself. So, being the [censored] for attention that I am, I ran with it (and if you find THAT sad, well, that's OK...I think you'll find that a more common thing than you think).
Funny thing about a reputation...it begins to drive you. So I'm actually rather glad Missi said something, or I would have continued the mindless drivel to keep that reputation and bad joke going. Really, she just me an excuse to change my image, for which I'm grateful. So I now submit myself to further flaming, and have a nice day
QR:
Ok, so I haven't read all ~100 pages on the matter, so I'm just repling to the OP. Without further ado...
...This is a problem? This is the first time I've ever heard it called even a minor inconvenience. I could imagine, back in the days of street sweeping, hunting grey mobs as a high level could negatively affect the other of the appropriate level, but in today's game I highly doubt any of your sweeping for BP Maskes, or Fake Nemesis in Peregrine, is really doing anything to anyone else.

yeah Necros can be annoying at times.
However in this case :
I DO find interesting that there is little outcry these days about this sort of thing. When the Hollows were revamped, were there posts about level 50s kill stealing the Coralax ?
The community has matured for sure, and understands that there are blips of activty related to badges, but those blips pass quickly.
I remember those days in Perez, with 50s rainign death from above (I wuv you apocalypse ponies) on the spawns with bosses in them and to be honest it wasn't a THAT big deal even then.
@Catwhoorg "Rule of Three - Finale" Arc# 1984
@Mr Falkland Islands"A Nation Goes Rogue" Arc# 2369 "Toasters and Pop Tarts" Arc#116617
I think, that for a month or so, they should pop the spawn for the Kraken, Adamaster, etc WAY up, even further than what they have ALREADY. Just a temporary. Heck make it spawn several times an hour.
Just for a limited time while the badge-hunters (myself included) get it out of thier systems. Then you can drop the spawn back to "rare" and this kind of poaching will be itself a rarity. I know that when I decide I'm going after the Kraken, and I'm camoping it, first thing I'm going to do is do a Broadcast in the area asking who wants in on the kill. That way at least 7 others get the kill credit, too.
Yeah, I know it's lame to poach a poor little monster like that, but come on the "scavenger hunt" for the badges is kind of fun! I really don't want to hurt someone else's game, honest. It's just that that's the way the thing is set up.
