And they already got the points for the badges, and removing the badges from the site wouldn’t remove the points they got for them.

I hope those badges are removed soon! They are among the only easy badges I haven’t earned.

But wouldn’t that be a fair solution anyway? That way there aren’t unearnable badges on the site, but the people who earned them still keep the points.
Of course I imagine most people get badges for the badge and not the points so it’s far from ideal. But it seems like the best solution given the current limitations to the badge system. Anything better would require a programmer to tweak things, and Kong seems afraid of messing with the code, I assume because the person/people who coded it in the first place no longer work there.

And while you’re at it get rid of all those guitar games, They are among the only easy badges I haven’t earned.

Of course, the difference between “all those guitar games” and the broken badges is that the broken ones are unearnable. Caesary and Battalion especially, as those games aren’t even on the site anymore.

It would be terrible if Space Game: Missions was taken down as well. :S

I’d love to know if there is any progress on removing these badges. They are among the only easy badges I haven’t earned now.
Maik has already pointed this out, but the badges on Dinowaurs are also completely broken (in the sense that they are impossible to earn). For somebody attempting to earn all of the badges on Kongregate such as myself, this is a huge problem. I now only have a handful of easy badges to earn, and Caesary, Battalion: Arena and Dinowaurs are sitting there taunting me. I’ve now taken a screen shot of Dinowaurs and requested that I receive the badges anyways, and I will take a screenshot of the Kongregate homepage and do the same for Caesary and Battalion (since that’s where it sends me when I try to play).
**Edit:** Derp… Turns out you need to be able to select the game from a drop-down menu to report a missing badge, and Caesary and Battalion: Arena don’t even show up. I guess I’ll just request it anyways, through a different report.

Oh and Maik, you could add Papa’s Pizzeria to your list. There is an exploit that makes it possible to earn all of the badges except the last one in just 1 day.

We’re still looking into a solution, and agree that the current system won’t work going forward. We can’t promise any timeline as we have a lot of things we’re working on to improve the site as a whole, but it’s definitely something we’ll be looking at.

Awesome, that’s really great to hear. Also, you guys can’t be blamed for badging multiplayer games that eventually go dead due to lack of userbase or developer support. It seems like a problem that can only be addressed retroactively, and nobody is blaming the badge-makers for this nonsense. Hopefully it works out, and if I have any luck with my missing achievement reports then I’ll let others know so that they can also solve the problem. I know first-hand how frustrating it is to be addicted to badges and unable to earn some of them, so if other users like me can have them awarded I’m sure it will ease the minds of many players until a lasting solution can be found.
Thanks for the responses, Raw.

Care to tell me what sort of bug we’re talking about?

With a certain name choice at the beginning you can get the first three badges instantly and the second badge in a few days time (In game time).

Considering the dev put all that in the game himself, does that really make the badges broken?

It makes for an unforeseen method of getting the badges, sorta of a broken issue since greg put the badges up probably not knowing of this being an exploit.

@Maik
Sorry, I should have been more specific. I definitely don’t consider it broken, and while it’s not technically a glitch (as Dark pointed out), I think it could belong with Sonny and Streamline. It makes it so that an easy, medium and hard badge are far easier than earning some easy badges, and I think that can be considered problematic.

I agree with this idea.

[Bunny Flags](http://www.kongregate.com/games/CuaticGames/bunny-flags?acomplete=bunny) is now somehow broken. The enemies are invincible.

We’re talking to the dev about that one already.
