Let everyone get their badges. I imagine when I hit 25 or 30 I'll be the first at that Sec. Level without a Skull/Outcast/Hellion (whatever it is) badge. Which is fine with me. It will be near impossible to get there without the earning the badge for new characters and with existing players farming for their badges, The Ticked Off will be unique in his badgelessness.
The Ticked Off will laugh at your silly jewelry and ask how things are on the farm.
