The badges don't do anything, do they?

I fired up this game for the first time in a while, and man, it is a weird game now.

I hate the badges, the hats are pretty dumb, allowing people to make weird items for the game has really weirded it up too.

That said, I am looking forward to engineer update. Hopefully it won't be something from WOW like the soldier's trumpet buff thing.
