Repeat Badge bonuses
Would need a fairly severe cooldown in order to keep it from being exploited like a [REDACTED], but actually kind of a neat idea. The Incarnate Trials actually already operate like this since you still get an extra Astral Merit by completing one of the challenge tasks, regardless of whether or not you already have the badge.
I can't understand what kind of jerk would refuse to do either of the DFB challenges for just one person on the team though, it's not like they take any meaningful effort.

I like the idea, you could get for example 1 bar of XP, 1 Incarnate Shard, 1 Astral, whatever, for getting a badge you already have (only in trials/iTrials, ofc). Maybe with a cooldown of 20 hours (or 1 week if the reward is one empyrean)
I think another thing that would help the DFB in terms of badge acquisition is if the thing had a cap on XP... like no XP earned on characters who run it above level 15.
That way you don't have the 30+ characters who are still running the thing and can't be arsed to take an extra two minutes to not use the 5 extra powers they have compared to the other folks who are running it in the intended level range.
Sadly, those exist. I've seen a few people in DFB, that after explaining all they have to do, the open with fireball/rain of fire/insertAoEHere. And they are not newbies. One time I had that happen to me. The AoE happy guy already had the Badge, so that means that he simply couldnt be bothered to do it again.

Ever been on a DFB trial, wanted the badge, and get shot down because everybody else has it?
Wouldn't it be nice if they had some incentive to repeat the challenge?
Well fret no more! your pal Premmy is here to help!
This idea is simple: If you have a badge from a certain "Challenge" and you take the trial, mission, or Task force again, you get a bonus of XP, Merits, Influence, Whathaveyou for completing the challenge again. This would encourage Players who already have X badge to undertake the badge requirements again for the benefit of teammates who lack said badge and would like to get it.
