Talk:Mercenary

Limited Item?

Won't this item be available forever, just not to those who have a Silver, Gold, or Beta medal? Anyone starting to play today or even a year from now will get it, so it isn't really limited.

Like you have said, it is an unlimited Item, similar to the Gibus. By the way, next time sign your comments. Danton 14:43, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

I thought I replied to this. Limited here means it will only drop a single time per account. So it's 'limited' to one per account. As opposed to hats or weapons which could drop numerous times.  – Smashman _(talk) 14:50, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Mercenary naming?

Is it proper to have the name of the article "Mercenary"? its misleading and any of the classes could be a mercenary... What I'm trying to say is save mercenary for any future story line and or comics that may eventually refer to the classes as mercenaries. - Meter1060 18:35, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Well the badge is called "Mercenary" so any other name would be incorrect. Moussekateer 18:38, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

I meant more in that its name should include badge somewhere in there. - Meter1060 02:51, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

The classes are indeed mercenaries, but are referred individually. You don't hear anyone, in any canonical comic or otherwise, call the classes "Mercenary Scout" or "Mercenary Spy". However, it does make sense to place "Medal" or "Badge" or something next to it. --Vaught 03:12, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Ah I misunderstood your point. Yea I agree the word badge needs to be in there. Moussekateer 03:13, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Alright well we should ask an admin to get a bot to fix it and get all the corresponding links to be fixed as well. maybe the other 3 badges should also be renamed. - Meter1060 19:23, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

That wouldn't make sense at all, we don't label the hats as baseball helmet hat. The only exceptions are things like Polycount Pin or Mappers MedallionAres5566 13:01, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
