"Gate Crasher" as a badge title is shared between two badges: one for the Peregrine Mayhem Mission Exploration and one for the spine-sync achievement in the DD trial.

Not a problem. The first is only awarded to villains and rogues (heroes and vigilantes get Gate Closer) and the second is only awarded to heroes and vigilantes (villains and rogues get Gate Crashed).

Every single other badge that has ever had duplicate names has been changed. There's no reason for this one to stand just because it's not shared by a single alignment.

(Badge trackers cannot tell the difference between the two, though the devs shouldn't change it *JUST* because of that. The devs should change it so there isn't two badges with the same name that don't describe doing the same thing.)

When can we expect gate crasher to be corrected ? Seems like simple correction ?

Actually it was a problem from the point of view of being able to verify these unique badges on the third party badge tracking websites. It's relatively easy for a badge collector to have both of those badges and there's really no way for automated verification software to tell the difference between two identically named badges regardless of red/blue status.

This game has now made this mistake of "reusing" previous badge names for newer badges about 10 different times over the years of this game and each time it drives people who want to verify badges crazy. This is why in every case the Devs of this game have eventually corrected these problems. Case in point the newer Gate Crasher has been renamed Spinebreaker in the latest Issue patch.

All things considered there really is no good reason for any new badge to reuse the exact name of any old badge regardless of the red/blue dual names. It's a sloppy mistake that sadly our Devs seem to be unable to avoid.

I'd argue that changing badge names to be unique *JUST* because badge trackers can't tell the difference between the two is a good enough reason for me all by itself. Of course I might be a little biased about that as well but it is what it is.
