Odd. Last two nights (saturday -> sunday, and sunday -> monday) I had my Widow in a Paper mission, resting in front of an enemy, working on the 10million damage badge for the accolade. Both sessions were about 7-8 hours, and it was still running just fine when I checked in the morning. |

If it logs you out, and is not just a mapserver, there are some other variables missing here, since for me it seems to work as always. I wasn't in TF/Ouroboros mode either, just a regular Papermission from Grandville.

Yesterday I was in a regular mission from a contact and went afk for 2 hours. When I came back, I was still logged in. Later I went afk on the hill in Talos and got the /afk message over my head, then the warning beep and popup box. So it appears to be working correctly.

Isn't that the point of the badge?
Playing to get it?
I serious doubt that the DEVs intended for characters to be parking online unattended in order to gain badges.
On that same note, stopping people from farming badges is only the tip of the iceberg as to why they might institute this kind of mechanic.

I seriously doubt the Devs would have let AFK badging continue for years if they actually cared about it one way or the other.

I find it hilarious that someone with your moniker would question the need to farm for 10million points of dmg for an accolade (well, it's equivalent) that is so quick to get (comparitavely speaking) blueside.|

Even Posi said they made a mistake for a lot of the badges like that.

Heck...they put in a bunch of badges for us to get just by logging off in certain places. That doesn't even require you to pay for an account.

Actually it does. Considering the longest trial is 14 days and the logged out time for any of the day jobs is 21 days...

2a. Play for account activity duration.
2b. Log character off in a day job location.
3. Let account lapse.
4. Renew account after whenever. Get day job.
5. Log character off in another day job location.
6. Let account lapse.
Repeat steps 4-6 as often or as rarely as you wish. Free badges.

And renewing the account is done how?...

However, you get free badges during your downtime between renewals. That was the point.

I can park every one of my toons in a day-job spot and cancel all my accounts. I'll have a shiny new badge on each one of them when/if I come back.
