I do not wish to flame TH, but this is a pretty bad Friday Feature. Considering it is only really useful to the players of Bria. Sure the rest of us can get an idea of what people do and such on a server, but its diffrent for every server. If you plan to release the other servers later thats fine, but you should have waited till a later date to show this till all servers could be represented.
Also there is much going on with the game with all thats going on with Space and combat revampdelayand such, we could really have used a Friday Feature in that ball park. 
But I guess we have to expect a few FF to not be that great.

If anyone else was paying attention the Devs are moving this weekend...(weekend: Days people are normally not at work)
So a Friday Feature like this is expected, consider TH has probably been sitting in meetings arguing our position all week to get some kind of concessions for us, if you want to direct your ire somewhere direct it at the Suits at SOE or Lucas Arts.
God with all the piss and vinegar flying around some of you guys need to get over it already, sure I'm upset over the pushback but pissing and moaning constantly in other threads is counterproductive and will get us nowhere.
And yes, I found the stats interesting - Bria is the largest server and the demographics there are probably indicative of other servers.
And yes I am aware I'm probably feeding you trolls about this but I don't really care at this point.

Thats a real statement about the current state of the game.

You know what's funny? I was a real life Combat Medic (4804 Hospital Corspman), 2nd Marine Air Wing MACG-28. I spent most of my time HEALING people. The NBC (Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical) guys dealt with all the poisioning and nasties.

All those badges and $2.00 will get you a cup of joe at Starbucks.
Best part - You can get 99% of those badges in a week, maybe less lol

With all the issues and major discussions in the past week and the quick "Have a great weekend", this has to beone of the biggest slap in the face from the developers to the player base. Way to go again, running away from the true issues and the ever growing worthless content and communication
Naw, it wasn't the biggest slap... that was on 15th (actually that was a kick in the jimmy), followed by the 21st.
But don't worry, by next week this whole affair will be forgotten... or so they hope.

Ah, so I see. There are more people on Bria that have Mastered Politician (81) than have been recognized for their memorable personality (10). I can't decide if that's funny or sad.

I think completing a loot kit should be a badge....it is enough of a pain as it is.

Interesting, but wildly out of date and doesn't really provide any real juicy data - especially the amount or agrilat race track badges given/day and the number of Heros & the breakdown of each of the 4 different Marks on the way to hero.

we were able to do a database query of the Bria server while it was copied onto TC2 and find out just how many badges players have earned.

I would think that the stats would be similar for all servers.

I actually find the numbers useful for a number of arguements.
1. The number of people who mastered TKA is twice as many as the closest elite combat profession. That says one thing. This is a profession that works and people like it. DEVs need to model that profession and have all the other combat professions provide the same effectiveness. I support no Nerfs, but equality should be the norm.
2. BH is the lowest combat profession mastered, but is also the most difficult because of investigation. However, there is no incentive or reward for mastering this profession in light ofthe difficulty. I have mastered BH and it is a path full of bugs and frustrations.
3. Carbine is the lowest of the mainstream elite combat professions. We all know they are jacked up. I was a carbineer for 7 months of the game. If DEVs do feel like supporting the combat balance particular attention needs to be given to carbineers and BHs. There are more DEs than carbineers and god help the DEs. Been one too.
4. Take a look at the corvette badge statistics. The badge most received is the rebel destroy mission at 384. That is 2% of the population of bria. The least recieved one is the neutral assassination mission at .18%. DEVs take note. We have been telling you for a long time these missions are too hard. 2% of the population completing one of the major pieces of contentin the game is just not right. It should be around 30-40%.I am not going to mention how to make it more playable as there are enough threads out there discussing it. The same goes for the bunker. Bottom line is little reward + too difficult = very little enjoyment.
