Current PVP Zone Exclusive Badges [I8]

While some badgers dislike or outright hate PVP, everyone needs to understand just how many or how few badges are exclusive to PVP. If you avoid PVP at all costs, these are the badges you will miss out on. If you want to limit your exposure to PVP, you can see what badges you are willing to live with or without.

Now, some of these badges are listed as "CoH only" or "CoV only". This might mean that the badge in question is only available to that side (Swashbuckler, and the CoV accolades below), or it might mean that the side not listed can get it in their regular zones (Man/Woman in Black can be achieved in CoV without entering a PVP zone).

Here is the list:

Explore:
15 badges shared. (Lobbyist / Crooked Politician, Hungry / All Consuming, Imploding, Ghoulish, Globetrotter, Raganarok, Temporal Fighter / Dark Victory, Last Stand, Hangman or Hangwoman, Politician, Broad Shoulders, Piratical, Weapon Inspector / Weapon of Mass Destruction, Tunnel Rat, Triumphant)

History:
2 badges CoV-Only. (Swashbuckler, Arachnos Rising)

Accomplishments:
3 pillbox badges. (Time Machinist, Somewhere in Time, Back From the Future)
3 heavies badges. (Temporal Agent, Temporal Spy, Temporal Soldier)
7 badges for Signature Heroes CoV-Only. (Oppressor, Destroyer, Dead-eye, Interrogator, Breakneck, Uppercut, Blackguard)
6 badges for Signature Villains CoH-Only. (Arachnophobic, Wrangler, Poltergeist, Sandblasted, Shark Hunter, Justiciar)

Achievement:

Totals:
49 For CoV that are exclusive to PVP zones.
45 For CoH that are exclusive to PVP zones.

If you stretch the definition of a PVP zone to include the arena and base raids, you add at most 6 badges for both sides.

Explore: Cage fighter
Achievements: Lanista, Grand Lanista, Liberator / Master Thief
Gladiators: Longbow Nullifier, and Hercules Titan.

They are all shared.

With 36 directly shared (42 with the Arena/Base Raids), on the other hand if you count the signature heroes/villains that is 42 shared with 1 more badge on the villain side.

Man in black/woman in black is not CoH only.

Also MiB can be gotten CoV side without ever entering a pvp zone.

...For a CoH player, Man In Black is PvP-exclusive. That is what the listing Snow_Globe has designed means. For villains, it's PvE-capable, for heroes, it's PvP zone-required.

Second paragraph, even:

"or it might mean that the side not listed can get it in their regular zones (Man/Woman in Black can be achieved in CoV without entering a PVP zone)."

RIF (Reading Is Fundamental)

(showing my age there with that one, me thinks . . .)

Yes, but there was no need to say "CoH only" since both CoV and CoH can get the badge in BB. If you're going to make a list a lot of people just read the headline and then read the list.

It is ONLY an exclusive to PVP zones in CoH, not CoV. In CoV, you can get the badge outside the PVP zones. Therefore in CoV, it is not exclusive to Bloody Bay, that is why the list is how it is.

I could say something very insulting here about intelligence and reading comprehension, but the moderators wouldn't appreciate it.
