Advantages
Badges provide a reliable Gem income stream. The 10-badge milestone unlocking the Ancient Bucket makes badge hunting extremely worthwhile — the Ancient Bucket's +10% Token bonus pays for the badge effort many times over.
Limitations
Some badges are extremely difficult to earn (Ocean's Worst Nightmare has only 56 earners). The Ancient Bucket requires both 10 badges AND joining the IWTM10GTMPLS group, which some players may overlook.
