Yeah, I somehow misread that as 16 PLUS one accolade.
Oops.
Back to the original question, it's pretty much a given that there will be a badge for the new TFs. Someone probably already mentioned that, and I probably missed it, but just in case it *wasn't* mentioned...

who said anything about "trading" wins?
I'm going to fight. With my Energy/Stone brute. It will be nice to use him again with his "improved" Energy Transfer, he's had no purpose in life since that fix.
The fact that it will be a team match and I ended up with no teammates doesn't mean I'm exploiting the arena system at all, nor is your whole team of 8 winners exploiting anything by beating him up in his moment of loneliness and mis-placed bravado.

I fully intend on earning my badges by fighting against friends that will be trying to beat me.

that's exactly what I said. I will be trying to beat everyone who's earning badges.
The fact I'm grossly mis-matched shouldn't bother the devs, right?
Just like I could... oh... I dunno... run your MA arc slotted with only TO's. or I could cross Steel Canyon at level 10, take the tram to Founders, and find a few level 36 targets for Silver Bullet. Those things are not forbidden, and there's never been an issue with them before, so it should be perfectly fair if I want to take on 8-v-1 in the arena, and thus equally fair for the 8. I15 has not created a new action to yield a badge, the devs have decided to add a badge to award an existing action. You can't nitpick that behavior because of a badge addition, they must have already decided it's a fine action.
My only hope is that when I decide that my main badge hunter, who's not quite so good in PVP, wants to get these badges that there will be fellow badge hunters to help join up with my team in a match that's more ... handicapped ... towards my not quite so good in PVP character. He just needs his fair chance, and if that means a teammate or 7 to make it fair for him considering his viability in PVP, then that's what it is.
(yeah, the fact my main badge chaser is a squishy corruptor built for team-oriented play kinda explains why I'm still lacking the 400 Rep badge on him but I have it on other people.)
I wouldn't hold my breath for new badges. Well ya know they just may take them back ..... Indian givers.

My main badge character's survivability rate will plummet with Issue 15. With my Ill/Emp controller, I was able to stalemate a Fire/Fire/Fire Tank (not win, but not lose either) in a 1 on 1 match. Without the ability to control my opponent beyond 4 seconds, I guess I'll have to consider myself a punching bag in the arena.
I already can't do enough damage to win a match and I don't have the defenses to protect myself from any other AT, so losing the ability to control means I will lose most of the time.

well, you don't need to beat a fire/fire/fire tank to earn the badge.
you could fight another ill/emp, or an ill/FF.
you could also, in theory, find someone who's at the low end of the weight class and you'll be at the high end. that's always been considered a "fair" match, and the devs have added a badge for that with (unless I miss a patch note for I15) no added balances enforced. So, for example, find a level 22 to challenge your exemplared-to-26 character in a Lightweight match.
even so... as I alluded to above, what is a "challenge"? If IOs are unneeded for the game, and I use the 2nd build of my 50 f/f/f tank to create him with only TOs, I wonder how you'd fair. If our little experiment is done with all the effort either of us can muster - I promise to try to kill you with my TOs - and it yields a badge for you, is there anything the devs can complain about? the badge isn't for a non-experimental arena win. but I digress.
It's a good thing we only have to do this once for the badge. Because it's apparently OK to do one time, but if we had to do it twice we'd be considered farmers and that would not be what they intend us to do to earn this badge.
Looking forward to grinding / farming / dual boxing for these new badges.

so how come that CoHtitan network thing doesn't have any info on the new badges?
Because the badge sites tend not to put up the badges till they actually go live.

What is the point of these new badges... you are a champion by winning your first match? NICE, well it makes it easy for people who just want the badge and be done with it.. there is NO challenge here at all and why? Because they don't want badge grinding? Are they trying to FIX the badge aspect of this game they way they did with pvp? It's official there is NO middle ground in coh anymore... things are either too much or too little... There will always be certain battles you can never win, question is why are the devs picking these ones...

Use it right if at all.
Native Americans having a distinctly different sense of property ownership as opposed to those of European ancestry. One holds that early European settlers in North America misinterpreted aid and goods they received from Native Americans as "gifts," when in fact they were intended to be offered in trade, as many tribes operated economically by some form of barter system, or a gift economy where reciprocal giving was practiced. It is also that this stereotype was coined or exaggerated by the conquering European groups to denigrate the native people as dishonest and thereby justify their conquest.
Miss using this term and or using it as slander is way uncool. Thanks.
Co-sign that! These knew easy badges will certainly give me a lot more time to spend playing other games I suppose. Maybe that's the dev's goal??

He did use it right. Let me quote from the same page on wikipedia that you quoted (without credit).
"Indian giver is a North American English expression used to describe a person who gives something and later wants it back, or something equivalent in return."
I'll agree it's an offensive usage. Wikipedia commented on that also:
"The phrase is considered a racial stereotype and is often offensive, as it implies that Native Americans commonly practiced this behavior."

I allways thought it was refering to the settlers, we "gave" them land for a reservation, then a few years took it back and moved them to a different reservation, especially when something of value was later found on the land,and as for wikipedia, I have not used it yet due to not really trusting the "sources",just read a article where some one posted false info and it was picked up by main media as "fact"

For me, I dont need *sources* for that term. I am full blood eastern band Cherokee. I know where it came from an how/why it's used. I will give a common link to something like that just cause I dont feel like typing it out or going into the exact truth of something like that and start crap on the forums that will go nowhere.
I'm done with this discussion. I dont call whites or blacks anything negitive here and I expect the same respect.
Now back to badges. 
Does anyone have a picture of the Savior of Boomtown badge? I can't find it anywhere and I want to do the new TF when it goes live.

I heard they finally added the arena badges and an accolade for them. Took them long enough, I wonder bs excuse they have for not releasing like they were supposed to for i4.

Yes, there are at least 16 arena badges this issue, including one accolade:
Individual PVP badges

There may also be a badge called "Contender" but I haven't found what would earn it. The Accolade is awarded by earning the five Victor badges shown in the first link.

I only see 15 new badges, plus the accolade.
