I love fulltilt, but the badge idea is stupid, what do you think?

I think they're dumb as well. Although they aren't so annoying that Id stop playing there, I don't think it adds anything to the game. It sure doesn't make me want to get my "3 missing badges". They're past promotions have been much more successful

Yeah, the badges are silly just because they're almost all just gimme's. Do I really care that everyone at my table is a, "TRUE POKER PLAYER!"?

They offer a 'tell' on their own imo.... Ironman badge means something (might not mean they're good.. but does mean they play alot). FulltiltAcademy badge tells me that they didn't know much about poker if they were actually able to endure watching those Academy vids. And are likely a micro limit player with a smaller bankroll.

They're pointless IMO.

And LMAO @ only 1 person choosing "I love them" so far.

You can use this toward your advantage. Here's 2 reasons why:
1. It signifies your players experience (provided he hasn't deactivated it)
2. By disabling badges on your end, you hide your level of play

Anything that amuses the fish and keeps them playing is good for the poker economy, imo.

^ this.

They get a resounding meh from me but if fish want to spend their time trying to earn them all then I just wish they'd introduce a turbo STT badge.

I just turned the external website links off. Also I don't really see the point in hiding the "True Poker" one since if you're playing in a real money game then you must have one so you're not really giving any super-secret information about what a shark you are away or anything.
