So this player attacks me off of a legion alert he received. I'm rank 218 and he's rank 285. I disable him twice but don't receive a red badge either time. Is there a particular reason why not? We're within 40% of each other's rank. Am I missing something?

you only get one badge every 12 hours. is it possible you got one the first time and not the second?

That's got to be it... I probably actually disabled him 3 times and just didn't check after the first... I didn't realize there was a 12 hour cool down, but that makes sense. Thanks!!

on the same topic of badges what are they used for?

to buy stuff in the battle market. you can purchase modules, buildings, or atrifacts.

where is this battle market and do any type of badges work with it?

the battle market is accessable via the battle tab, and the button to access it is at the top left of the window, right above the NPC slots. and yes, every badge earned in the game is able to be used in the battle market.

thanks for the fast response
