Thorns - Spines/Willpower Scrapper (1366 Badges)
Hit 1315 over the weekend. About halfway done with the I22 badges.
Then its back to my protracted trench war with MoKeyes.
56 attempts later, Master of the Keyes Island Reactor. Bite Me, Anti Matter.
Joined this club yesterday after plenty of DA playthrough.
I really did like the story in the revamped DA. 
(not done the last two incarnate trials yet, but I will)
Wohoo

Finally got to 1342 by running through all but the day job badge from I22, might as well say yay before someone starts the 1350 thread.

Triumph: White Succubus: 50 Ill/Emp/PF Snow Globe: 50 Ice/FF/Ice Strobe: 50 PB Shi Otomi: 50 Ninja/Ninjistu/GW Stalker My other characters
Salacious currently sat on 1350 badges, Chilling Twilight also sat on 1350. I will get the rest of my toons up to 1300 very soon I think, so should be a few more to add, closest is Fantasie on 1292 and Ellana Darkmaid on 1262 so I should expect to have a total of 16 here soon 
It's a badge thing.......

The vet badges are now Paragon Rewards tier badges, and while you still get credit for subscription time, you now also get credit for each $15 you spend on Paragon Points. The idea was to allow some way for premium players to advance in tiers as a veteran player since they do not subscribe. So subscription players get credit for each month of subscription, and on top of that all players premium or subscription get credit for each $15 they spend on paragon points.

Broke 1300 by getting MoDD - onwards and upwards!

I'm only on 1005 so not part of the club yet, but I can tell you I'm not going for all those Exploration badges again.

It's impressive to have that many badgers, but it's really not extremely hard to have a character with 1250-1300 badges now-a-days. |

I would estimate that there's really only about maybe 40-50 badges in the game that are truly "hard" to obtain anymore. Many of the badges that used to be "hard" have now become almost trivial to get. And considering a large majority of them can be gotten solo I would say it'd probably take a dedicated person say roughly 4-6 weeks to get a new character up to the 1200+ range. One complication would be having to wait a long time for all the various Event and Day Job badges to open up - can't really do anything to speed those up.
Still, I'm satisfied with having just 3 or 4 serious badging characters - I wouldn't call having 16 "insane" as much as "overkill". I know the difference may be subtle but it's good enough for me.

Yes this "confusion" over vet status quite likely has something to do with it. In about a month or so I -should- be getting my 8th year anniversary badge, but I'm expecting to have the same problem with not getting it as everyone else has been having since CoH:Freedom launched. The longer they let this problem linger the more people it's going to affect. |

Up to 7 year veteran badges work fine... Its the 8 year vet that doesn't seem to award. And I think that goes by your master account time payed for not ingame stuff to be honest.. Not sure though

That's just in your case. Overall, they were working fine until CoH:Freedom launched, then they got borked. If you only had 3 at that time, you're stuck at 3. If you had 5, you still do.

Like Ironblade mentioned I've been reading that many people have been having problems with -any- of the annual vet badges, not just the 8th year one.|

Just to be clear there is a difference between the Paragon Reward badges that you can buy and the annual badges that you can't. The ones you can buy seems to be working fine regardless - it's the annual ones after CoH:Freedom that are messed up.

Because you can't buy the annual vet badges it's still pretty easy to determine if a person just "bought" all their other badges or not. |

Small nitpick: it's actually per 1,200 Paragon Points purchased, not $15.00 spent. Sure, for the $15.00 purchase it's the same, but for larger "bundle" purchases those additional bonus PPs are counted.|

So a $100.00 purchase gives you a base of 8,000 PPs + 1,600 bonus PPs for buying in bulk. Measured by $15.00 increments it would be only give 6 Reward Tokens; however, since the bonus 1,600 PPs count, it actually gives 8.

Ah, completed a Drowning in Blood tonight and with those three badges, I'm at 1301 now!
Now I just need to start getting some Master badges.
Level 50 is a journey, not a destination.

After resisting the alignment change to villain, I finally caved in and broke 1300 today.
I still have the redside MoTF badges and some mayhem badges to work on.

The three Valentine's Day badges pushed me to 1300. Thought I posted this back then, but I guess not.
I'm 3/4 through Issue 22's badges now, just needing the trial badges (both Dilemma Diabolique and Drowning in Blood), the two villain arcs (at this point, I think I'm going to wait until 23 comes out or I'm certain they're not going to add more villain-only badges with it), and the day job (hate hate hate). Add in News Flash/MoTPN and I'd cap out at 1350, although I'll certainly at least have the Statesman loyalty badge by then.
Been 1300 since the Spring Fling. Have 1352 now on Tyrus Proeliator, sure it won't take long to get to 1350 on Diablo if I try, but already kind of burned out on I22.
