Not much to say that hasn't been said, but I'm in agreement, ridiculous requirement, no fun to get, not achievable by any normal player without farming or playing for years.

Ditto! Like really, when all you have is barely a third of the 4th badge after getting to 50. I mean really, some ATs don't even have that. There's just NO way I'm going to get that badge without sitting in a mission afk night after night for weeks and weeks and weeks.
Unless we want to just rename the game City of AFK Badge Farming Night After Night After Night Until Your Computer Dies, or CoABFNANANUYC for short! 
Instead of Hammerdown, how bout Hammerhead?
Or Badge granted from Caleb, for Born in Battle, heck I'd even take 6th Debt Badge as requirement(I almost have it) lol

I delete more 50s, then you'll ever have.

What about the Blackguard badge? Since the badge is Born in Battle, maybe we should have something that involves an epic battle, perse.

Dragos Bahtiam - 50 Fire/Ice Blaster - Lib

Ah... but Annihilator is a 8 on 4 battle, while the Heroes in RV take at LEAST 16 heroes to take down (assuming heavy... heavy usage with shivans and nukes following). I would think this would be more in the "Spirit" of the Badge (Although Archvillain or Recluse's Right hand could also work"

8 man team with enough -regen and -res has no problem taking them now.
But see, Blackguard would be a perfect replacement, since it involves fighting the mightiest heroes paragon has to offer, while in a pvp zone where battles are being fought all around you.
I think it would be a fine substitute myself, but people who despise PVP would be most displeased. Still, I'd rather encourage people to give PVP zones a try than tell them they have to give AFK farming a try.....
As much crying in the Badge section as there is, suggesting yet another harder to earn badge in a PvP zone will even get more outcry.
Let them cry!
Then collect their tears in bottles. I have plans. *evil laugh*

There are plenty of good solutions, so there is no need for a lesser of evil solution.
I've lowered the requirements for this from needing the "Nigh Indestructible" badge (100,000,000 damage taken) to "Unbreakable" (10,000,000 damage taken).
This is in a future patch (not on the Training Room yet). I don't know when it will be promoted to TR or to the live servers, but it is in the pipeline.

Thank you Positron very much. Definitely appreciate it.

I just hope they make a new reward for those of us who took a "shortcut" to go above and beyond what some people are willing to do.

They didn't do that with Ritki Monkies and they wont do that for you.
more than likely.

Guess I'll have to update the guide to afk damage badge farming I posted yesterday.
Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.

I just hope you guys don't start a new crusade of "Unbreakable is too hard to get on my ________! Lower it some more PLEASE!"
It'll be nice to see this debate finally put to bed.
Sweet now I can move over to Sirens for the raider badge.
. . .what?

Actually no, you've got the wrong accolade. Annihilator is needed for the Marshall accolade, not Born in Battle.

At least more that just one of mytoon can get this badge now...

Wow. The villians finally catch a break.
Hurrah!

The only downside for AFK farming is that people are actually accepting it as a perfectly resonable way to get the badge and then developing a sense of entitlement for the hours they didn't spend playing. Well, I guess that's two downsides. But seriously devs, what's your problem?
