That still does not absolve the +hp problem. The game has not counted a huge portion of the damage taken by characters. I have two characters that are about half way to the ten million mark. Both characters are around 54 months old.

Lately all I see on the server forums is every other thread calling for doom because how hard it is to get on a team; with the typical replies of how others have been playing for X amount of years and have no problem finding a team.
I'd bet a dime to a dollar that one of the effects that was discussed when talking about day job requirements is how to get people out of their old habits and interested in new toons, generating new interest, forming new social circles, etc. etc. etc.
I'm an avid badger myself (my main is well into the 600's) but to think that just because YOU badge that the devs should approach everything they do for the game from this perspective is laughable.

I know I'm not the only one who thinks 21 days is a bit high. You can disagree all you want, but that last paragraph was really unnecessary.

Leave it at 21 days. Work for it jeez. Dont be soooo lazy. It needs to be time consuming otherwise its too easy. They shouldn't have to give u the badges on a silver platter because sooner or later someone is going to complain again on the same subject.

I made the statement to make a point, which is that it may be 21 days to force people to get off their mains, and start up new toons, create new groups, etc etc etc.|

Edit so as to avoid a flame war.

There's plenty of people on both sides of the equation. Which means it all comes down to choice, either you suffer through as it is or you accept it. It seems the devs think it's working fine as there has not been any hint of behavior changing, so those content are going to generally be silent, while those upset are going to be vocal.
As it stands, like Andrew Ryan, I choose something different, I choose the impossible, earn all the day job badges in one day. I now have 6 badges that are under 24 hours to earn, one at 15 minutes left to earn. If there are no new badges DJ badges, I should earn all of them around Aprilish. If it looks like there are going to be more in GR, I'll be adding a few months onto my impossible and silly quest.

I'll be finishing up the available Day Job badges for my main Hero one day before my birthday. Depending on how quickly I can farm the last two damage badges, it's feasible that I could have every badge earnable in-game on my 30th birthday next month.
As a gift to myself, maybe I'll finally get the common IO badges for my main Villain so he can craft for all my evil alts.

Also the possibility that a villain badger can enter Paragon and seek out a dayjob that does not have a redside counterpart and vice versa.

With the level restrictions to entering RWZ gone, you can park a lowbie toon in RWZ to work the Dayjob. You can fill up the progress meter for it, but until you are 35 you won't get the badge.

Shame I didn't take advantage of the bugged 2x, 3x, 4x earning spots with higher level villains while they were still around. |
Yeah, after the one I'm currently working on (only a few hours left there), I'm down to only 2 more and their related Accolade -- so I'm thinking sometime in just a few weeks or so I should be done with all the DJ badges. Hooray!
And for the record, even though it frustrates the crap out of the "MUST HAVE NAO!" part of me, I think 3 weeks per badge is a reasonable timeframe to earn.
