There should be NPC-given medals for certain ingame accomplishments.
Accomplishments would include: * Succesful completion of an Epic Mission Arc * Completing bonus objectives (killing the Nidhoggur for example) in Epic Mission Arcs * Getting more than 9.995 standing with an NPC corporation * Being the top weekly killer in Factional Warfare * Being the top weekly plexer in Factional Warfare
Just to start things off.
The alternative would be to make medals grantable to people that are not part of your corp (after which I would hand them out to anyone meeting the critera), but CCP said that that they aren't likely to do that due to people going to grief eachother (yeah really, pay 10 mil to grief somoene with a medal if you can just mail/message him, makes sense). So we're not likely to see that happen any time soon.
So now the request is for NPC granted medals. Shouldn't be hard to implement as they already have the mechanics to award decorations to players built in the FW system.
Yes I understand that a lot of you consider this vanity, but believe it or not, there are actually people interested in collecting shiny items. A medal in the top of the items requested as reward for completing the Epic Mission Arc for a reason. It's probably a carebear thingie though, but what's wrong with that?

Care is needed here - your list risks the medals becoming banal annoyances instead of actual trophies. Equally problematic, you risk irritating people in non-medalled professions who would feel left out if you reward some things and not others. It also seems to be begging to be turned into a CCP specialty half-implemented feature that gets abandoned for the next five years.
All that said, in principle this does have some merit. There are some real achievements that NPCs would track and reward, and the game modeling that seems perfectly reasonable to me. I've got a lot of concerns, but in principle, I support this. ----- Bloodmoney Incorporated is recruiting! |

You're corp can dish those out if they feel you deserve them and tbh out of the examples you list apart from the top killer in fw are just safe grinding of missions or plex's where there is no risk involved.

this has nothing to do with WoW, more like Team Fortress 2 or any other team based game with achievements.

Maybe we can start with getting people like you out of an NPC corp. Then we can get you to work on getting PLAYER CEO's to give out medals acknowledging such achievments? |

First of all, what the ****.
Secondly, WHAT THE ****.
What you're proposing is just designed to make your epeen longer and serves no actual purpose (much like achievements for console games, which this seems to be based off (yes, I know, TF2, but you actually get stuff with those achievements)). Why should NPCs reward people for playing the game? What's next? Getting a medal for passing x million skillpoints? If this is the kind of **** we can expect from you running for CSM again, then I will certainly question the sanity of those who actually do vote for you. ---

Achievements are overdone as is.
We don't want that in EVE.

On a side note, she's already served 2 terms and cannot run again AFAIK.

Thank god...shows how much I care about the CSM, though. I paid a bit of attention to the first one, but the second CSM has been useless in every sense of the word. ---

EVE doesn't need achievements. The novelty is more of an annoyance and something like the ToK from warhammer would be crap for EVE. It might be good for keeping achievement farmers for more profit and whatnot, but I doubt it highly (see warhammer's hemorrhaging of subs).
