It could be good, but I see a lot of 'DOOOOOM!' coming.

I read this subject as "Changes coming to Badge near you." I need coffee stat!
Badge criteria changes in the positive way are always good to hear 
Huron: "...with Coffee primary / Attitude secondary"
Charnage: "Please. Think of the poor defenseless desks."
"The Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace. It failed... In the year of the Praetorian War, it became something greater... our last, best hope for victory."
Yup, there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth, but ultimately the changes will be a good thing for everyone. Even those who farmed... er, 'worked' to earn them as they are now. Eventually we all make new toons, this will make those higher badges easier to earn on newer toons. This is to say nothing of the trickle down, positive, impact felt when Going Rogue comes out, since I'm assuming there will be new badges there too. Having the 'epic' level badges lowered should effect their scaling as well.
Personally, I wish badges earned carried over on all Heroes/Villains (per side). Maybe not badge progress, but once you get the badge, it'd be nice to just have it on all of my characters.

And here I read it as as "Charges comming to Badge near you." as in criminal charges.

Would it explain everything or just add more questions to the mix?
As for the charges, they were groundless and easily bribed away.

The only change that I'm not a fan of is the Held badges.
For me personally I try to avoid them and before this goes into effect I was proud that while I have maxed out my debt badges (and any other ones they ever decide to put in the game) I still didn't have those Held badges.

Welcome back.
Sometimes, I impress my boss. Sometimes, I impress myself. The rest of the time, I scare people. I can live with that.
Well, I'm done farming the hard to reach ones.

This change might get me to take up badging again on Ura. I copied him over to the test server and noticed that I have very little to do to finish the final epic badges.

Unless mistaken, I already have more than required for all those on my badger. I'll go confirm that tonight.
Seriously wondering what to do for more badges now, since only Day Jobs will be left to get.
Oh that's right, I forgot:
"Nothing" (AKA pay not to play) or "play alts".

Hey, someone had to see the glass as half-full. Now we can move move on past this.
