I understand that it's probably not an easy problem to deal with but it's been almost 7 months since CoH:Freedom broke it. At this point you'd think if they've been trying to fix it all along and can't they'd be at the "Plan B" stage where they'd be considering drastic measures like either changing their requirements or removing them completely from the game. I mean what's the point in leaving a series of badges in the game that never work again for anyone?
Maybe they could just come up with something simplistic like "give us a badge for every year since you first activated your account". Sure that doesn't account for whether or not you've been an active player every day since you created your account or not, but at least that's an easy way to handle these currently broken badges.

Far as I'm concerned it's come down to this: fix them or remove them. If the removal option is done, then give out either some new type of badges in their place or else about 9999 market points to try to pacify the players that will be angered by badge removal. Or instead of automatic rewarding of the badges, set up a way that we can manually claim them.

Every account in the game has an "account creation date" associated with it. The Devs ought to stop worrying about who has what VIP time versus Premium time and simply do a simple calculation based on how many years a given account has existed and award badges based on that. I really don't see how hard that would be compared to whatever crazy data they are trying (and failing) to use for this now.|

Ultimately I don't care if this might give new badges to people who haven't been "subscribed" as long as I have or not. If someone's account has existed for 6 years give them the first 6 annual Vet badges and be done with it.
