Quitting because it get's hard... Tsk, Tsk. Think of the example you are setting to all the little Coins out there, hoping to be big badge hunters one day, or even better, cameraman extraordinaire 
Pfft Coin!
You can't give in! The badges aren't hard to get, I had a partly pickup team today with Xanthus and a few others and we got 3 of the 4 badges (not weed whacker) If you want to join me when I try to get a group for weed whacker ill give you a yell! You're not giving up! The siny glow of badge earned will draw you back!
When it comes down to having to farm a single mission to get a badge, I couldn't really care less about getting them all anymore either.
Quitter!
I don't mind helping people obtain badges even if they're ones I've already gotten myself (including the annoying "several hundred kill" gladiator badges), I play on Defiant but if you ever need assistance in getting ones you feel you won't have a chance to again, feel free to send me a tell. I'm sure I'm not the only person who would volunteer either, no need to throw in the towel just yet.
Seriously, Coin, you want a hand with this one, shout. My villain can spawn it for you - if you lasted til 1am, I suspect you only need another hour's worth, possibly less.
"I know 653 ways to kill a man. Fist to the face is #56."
Definitely Coin, we all grabbed it not long after you went...would not take long at all, & I know the other guys would happily chip back in to go for it with you.
I would be happy to help you out getting these badges mate,yes it was an anoying badge run but dont give up,who will I have to race on CiT if you stop 
PS:yes you are a n00b
I still need them too. If there is another team floating about for this please invite me also.
Don't give up this easily Coin. You have nearly 40 more badges than me and you are nr 10 on the Defiant list 
If you need any help I'll gladly help out. I haven't even begun to get these and would like them myself.
I need to get these with my main too, and I'd be glad to help with any of my villains.
Wow......
Seriously.....wow!
Thanks guys and gals, I really appreciate all the offers 
If anyone is up for it, I'm game to try again on Monday night, can't tomorow, sadly, got a team planned already for CoV, and Tuesdya is party night

Just a quick question. If this does go ahead on Monday, does that mean we're going to skip Hamidon (although that's something I can live with when badges are involved )
I just cant find a team for the weedwacker badge, so i would love to help as i love those shiny badges too, but if not enough space no biggie, 3 days tried and no teams to get one badge
@Blast
Damn, it is Hami this monday as well?
Well, I'm easy either way, I can wait until after Hami if you want, or can do it during, makes no odds to me

Coin, coin, coin... I find your lack of faith disturbing...
Far too quick to jack it in mate. :P
I cant do tuesday but i can makle any other day/evening this week (tho there is a high probablility im going to go nuts if i see many more of those cot maps).
Also if anyone wants to pvp at some point i still need forward observer
I know what you mean though coin, sometimes badging does get in the way of fun

I couldn't give a monkeys about Hami tbh. If you put a time I'll be there. Really wanna get past 280 badges
We don't really know how long this event will last, do we? So it's better to get it done as soon as possible, imo.

"A Scrapper is a lot like a chainsaw. Somewhat hard to handle, incredibly dangerous, and by far the most fun when wielded by the slightly insane."
That's it, I give in!
I can't do this any more!
I've been trying to keep up with the badges, I really have, I have sat for hours in Sirens, Warburg and Bloody Bay, just in case leaving the zone cost me a badge...
I've lost out on teams with friends cos I've been hunting down Shield Generators and Eminators....
I've begged and pleaded to go on Task Forces for the badges...
I've spent hours searching Perez Park for the damn Kraken, only to ALMOST miss it, only saved by a friendly alert before I logged off.
But I can't take any more, not after last night!
In a desperate attempt to get the 4 CoV badges on my hero, I joined the rest of the big name badge hunters in an attempt to farm the relevevant mission to get them all. And things were going well, they really were, we got the first badge easily enough, but it got harder as we tried to work out how to get the right spawns we needed for the rest of the badges...
This went on till nearly 1am in the morning and I had to log. I had no choice. I had an early start for work in the morning....
But the rest of them carried on......and got the blooming badges!!!
Now, i'm never get a team like that again, seriosu badge hunters who know the pains we all go through in search of that elusive yellow letterring floating in front of our eyes as the badge registers......it's almost magical.
SO I'm not gonna ever get these badges. So I'll never be able to catch up with the big guns now.
So that's it. I give in. I admit defeat. I'm a loser, a n00b, an also-ran.
Sob........
Good luck guys and MASSIVE gratz to Venture for being the first person on the Euro servers to get over 300 badges! Damn impressive, long may you reign
