This doesn't make much sense to do

[Encryptions]

I know I do not run lb but this just isn't correct. A lot of my friends running for lb have spent lots of time preparing for this golden badge and so have many other players.
This badge is going to probably be one of the hardest to obtain since we have expansion soon and if expansion hits during this season then this badge will be one of the hardest challenges to obtain the badge since new aps will be introduced. People want a bright gold badge to obtain for the work instead of a shaded dark dull color dirty gold badge. Not many people will put a whole lot of effort towards this badge if it isn't changed back to its og color.
Take a look at all of the other badge colors then take a look at this badge color:
Golden badge. I do say change it back to og bright gold color.

Other badges. They are all a brighter more visible color.
