While I understand the reasoning for this I don't think it's a good idea.
The Devs have said having unlocks at character level 50 was a bad idea, while this was in regards to Epic Archetypes I would think the same should apply to Accolades.Especially since your talking about 14 level 50's(10 if you exclude epics)
I'd be okay with it as long as the accolade didn't DO anything. How about an account-wide badge for each AT you have at level 50, and power-less accolade when you have all 14? It'd be cool enough to encourage people to try but not so crazy as to make people feel it was a requirement for an uber character.

Don't see a problem with a badge for each AT once they hit 50, but I'm not sure about getting an accolade. Would just be something else they would need to change every time they wanted to add in a new AT. Plus if they did add a new AT would the people with the accolade lose it until the new guy hit 50 or would they make a new accolade for the new total number of ATs?

With all due respect, people will just PL their way to the badge, and the devs are trying not to encourage that sort of behaviour.|

Having Epics unlocked by getting to 50 was admitted as being a mistake, this would be the same mistake, made worse by repeating it.

When I said "Accolade" I did not intend any bonus to go with it other than bragging rights.

Still, your point is taken.

As someone who has one of each AT levelled to 50 with no power levelling all I can say is:
meh

MA Arcs: Apples of Contention - 3184; Zen & Relaxation - 35392; Tears of Leviathan - 121733 | All posts are rated "R" for "R-r-rrrrr, baby!"|Now, and this is very important... do you want a hug? COH Faces @Blue Rabbit
Over in RO-land Altoholic Monkey (aka Alty) took a whim to get one of every AT to 50.
A number of us have decided to undertake the same goal and so far 3 of us have succeeded, with numerous others in various stages of completion.

Anyone else have opinions on this?
