Why the limit on challenge champ badge?

Tommy
over 4 years ago

I don't get the limit on the challenge champ badge? It takes the fun out of it for me who has more then a 100 and earned it by hard work. If someone challenge me now, i will simply decline, why bother? I get that some users have taken advantage off this way off earning points, but then why not have put a limit on how many times you could challenge the same connection/person?

    It is way too easy. You can make a dozen challenges a day, and assemble thousands of points within a few months. Makes no sense, if you compare how some other badges are difficult to get (i.e. Ultra Marathons, or the speed bike badges, etc). The limit of 100 is more than reasonable.

    Well, it's not that i don't think it's reasonable, it's just the way they done it. New people are still able to get 200 points with in a few days! Maybe they should have made the limit one challenge a week, so that peoplel like me still could have a little fun and benefit from a challenge..? What about those who already have thousands of points on this account, are they just going to keep it? My first challenge was from a girl in Canada who had won a lot of challenges, so I ran around as hell, but when the challenge was over she only got a few thousand steps in, and that's when I started wondering, how you could get these badges fast, but still be lazy? You just challenge a lot of people the same day, because there's always someone more lazy, then your self!

    If you have ideas for improvements, suggest them to Garmin through the form at www.garmin.com/.../

    The limite is for challenges limite a week or day? Or maximum in assolute?

    It is supposed to be absolute, I did not test it though.

    Garmin is full of *** , no reason to limit to 100!

    Well, I can understand why they wanna put a limit on this, as I have a connection who won this badge 4670 times! She got like 10.000 points and now there's no way to reach her! I my opinion, when they put on the limit, they should have taken away all the the existing points over 200 from everybody, so that we all would be even. Still, insted of a limit on 100, they should release a few badges a week, so that no one can take advantage, and we who enjoy it, still can benefit from it!

    I won 2740 challenges. Last week I won 16 challenges .They didn't give me any badges....

    Well, that's because of the new rule garmin made. If you have more than a 100 challenge champ badges, you won't receive them anymore! So you can still participate, but you won't get the badge, it totally takes the fun out of challenging. Pensive

    And that's a good thing. You can now try to get more points in the harder way - getting all the other badges available. Challenging is unjustifiably too easy way to get points, in comparison to all the other badges you can get.
