Mistake.. surely. We must await for the Devs to reply.
AS the badge has been possible to get from issue 6, and all the other valid comments being done in the latter part of the tread.
Also it seemed that there was a problem for villains to get that badge too? Just as there was/is a problem for the 3 fire badge?
Sweet Devs, say it is NOT so, make these messages made by these two Gm's false... please.
Ghostraptor, could you confirm or deny this after a little chat with the Devs?

Frankly, if it's a badge that was never meant to be doable by heroes, then there you go. There's a History badge they fixed recently; you could get one plaque because it was in a PvP zone, but never go further because the rest were in villain zones. They removed the progress indicator for heroes.
It seems unheroic at best to get a badge for defeating Longbow who are, basically, only doing their job, when you're supposed to be on the same side.

Pfft... pish-posh, balderdash and bibble-babble I say! 
They had better not touch my hard earned badges! Especially because I earned that one the hard way: none of this mission farming like you young'uns now have!

Well Ravenswing... maybe its unheroic.
BUT
Remember that many of the heroes have been "villains" before, or slightly been on the dodgy side. 
So Devs please DONT remove those badges!! *Please with sugar on top*

Sorry Ravenswing but any organisation started by Ms Liberty deserves a kick up the backside by everyone!
Bloody lazy useless moo that she is just standing there letting people get a kicking while Rikti, Zombies and goodness knows what else arrive.
Hmm, I think I may need to work through some of my Ms Liberty issues...

Awh, and Reformed makes SUCH a perfect title for Warshades..
Sounds like utter guff, unless it is indeed intended for use as a 'Side-changer' feature. Which, although nifty, still sucks a bit for the poor farmers...I mean, Badgers...
Meh, you go Mad either way you wrap it up

If the badge has been available to Heroes for 7 Issues then they can hardly say "Oops... it's bug, sorry" and take it away. That's at best, lame.
Sure it might once have been a mistake, but if so, they should have gotten on the case a LOT sooner.
Also as to your unheroic remark, what about when the Longbow/Vanguard spit their collective dummies out in RWZ and leave it to the heroes and villains to fix?
If they are deleting the badge that's frankly very poor. They should actually spend some time fixing it properly if they are unhappy with how it is gained.

Quite agree with you Scarlet
Although to be fair to the idea of changing...
They did after "How many issues?" finally change Empath and reducing it to its proper size = one ZERO less. Its playing Devils advocate here I know.. *bite lip*
Just hope that its a bug and will get fixed again. (Taking away things are not good, improving is!)

Well, the possibility to gain it's being removed, and the progress bar for it has been removed - they haven't explicitly said characters who already possess it are going to lose it.
Although they probably will.

If you really stretch the truth, you could call Longbow a group of vigilantes. They operate out side the law, and in many cases they invade the territory of a sovereign nation. Not to mention the many time when parts of longbow decide to play Judge, Jury, and Executioner while on paragon soil.
As such I see no problem with a heroic badge for beating them up.

Although we do get a chance to beat them up in the RWZ - but as we also get the chance to beat up Vangaurd, and don't get a badge for that, it probably makes sense to not have any badges for defeating those who are normally on our side.

This argument always makes me giggle. They're just doing the stuff PCs have been taking part in for years beforehand.
As I've said before, the only reason people whinge about Longbow is because it distracts from their own brutal treatment of criminals, their own invasions of sovereign countries and their own questionable ethics. 
As a hero I don't want a badge to arrest Longbow or Vanguards. However I DO want the badges for arresting traitor Longbow and Vanguards.
So: change the name on the badges and bring em back.
There was never a badge for either side for defeating rogue Vanguard.

I don't see how it can be classed as a bug when it's already got a different name to the Villain badge...

Hmm you got a point there. So it is NOT a bug. A mistake perhaps but NOT a bug. Weird that they suddenly want to change it then.

It was. Hence the "Reformed" name.
When they created CoV, they did it with the idea that they would like to implement "going rogue" at some point in the future, that is why most of the villain only badges have hero names.
I really should do something about this signature.

You know who Longbow are?
They are a bunch of wimps who can't stand up to Hellions and scream like little girls.
They might as well put this in chat:
Longbow Officer: Help me, help me! I'm a Longbow but these Hellions are too strong!
I'd like to see where they "helped" with the hero work. We, the heroes, do all the work and they get most of the praise!
By the way, their leader sits around in Atlas Park and does nothing. Not very heroic, is it?
In all I think killing Longbow should be ENCOURAGED, every hero has their dark side to be unleashed. We can't let them stand around and take all the credit!

....yeah, because, Back Street Brawler, Synapse, Positron, et al are all sooooo busy out there, aren't they.
And isn't that Statesman himself stood on a boat in IP.......doing nothing??

Its a clone, i rescued the REAL statesman from the praetorians just the other day. Apparantly he had been missing for a few months . . . . .
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
Welcome to the world that is the game. Things just *are*.
Although, yes, on the most part Longbow are a bit poncy, which is probably why it feels so good ripping them apart with my Crab spider =P

"The Development team has clarified that the "Reformed" badge was not intended to be an accessible badge, and the possibility for characters to gain it has been removed from the game. The appearance of the "Reformed" badge progress bar (for defeating 1000 Longbow) on Hero characters is a bug, and will be removed in a future build of the game."
