I can’t really see a good reason to not include this badge in the flashback system
While I’m aware of the missions are relatively easy and getting the badge usually isn’t an issue, sometimes bad luck happens like unexpectedly getting disconnected from the Map server because your local Internet went down for maintenance unexpectedly or any number of reasons you could think of that can just be chalked up to bad luck.
It’s also especially crappy that you have to get almost to level 50 to botch it. While getting a toon to level 50 generally isn’t a hard thing to do, I would think that missing this badge on your toon that is supposed to be collecting all your badges is an issue.
Again I don’t see why something like this can’t simply be added in the flashback system,. The badge grants no game play advantage, it can only be used to discourage people that are badge collectors from wanting to pick up the game for a while if they end up missing it.
I haven’t missed the badge, I’m actually probably going to get it tomorrow. I can just imagine how much it would suck though if I got really unlucky and I missed it forever as a badge collector .
