Praetorian mobs badges

So i have a little bit left to go on the badges for seers and Resistance members. Not a huge deal, they only spawn up to level 20 in Praetoria. But not having these badges allowed me to notice something: The Seers and Resistance members you defeat in the trials DON'T COUNT TOWARDS THE BADGE.

Now, the brainwashed resistance members I can see. After all, they don't fight back. But what about the Seers in the Lambda trial? Why don't they give badge credit? Would the devs really rather i farm level 20 and under lowbie enemies at no risk at all for a badge rather than earn badge credit while defeating a credible threat?

So basically, is this WAI or a bug?

Badge credit is awarded by enemy group. So, only Seers that belong to the group "Seers" will give you credit. The Seers in Lambda belong to the group "IDF units", or something like that.

So, I guess the answer is Working As Intended, if not Working As Would Be Most Logical.

This is the same reason that only the ones in the Mother Mayhem mission in Maria's arc count. The ones that you run into in every other mission are IDF faction.

Yup -- the best example that comes to my mind are the Toxic Tarantulas in Warburg. A lot of people used to be mystified when they didn't get credit toward that defeat badge until it was pointed out that their faction is "Rogue Arachnos" not "Arachnos", and they are "Rogue Toxic Tarantulas", not "Toxic Tarantulas".
