Weirdly, I haven’t found a thread for this yet - am I the only one annoyed by that? When you have event medals and go into an event without having them equipped, you get a warning. Every - single - time. This is annoying, to say the least. I just again made the mistake of cashing in the lower event rewards without looking at the event medal first (after buying the first tier for the enchantment). It’s a “more skull damage” medal again, which means I don’t use it. So I have to click “no” for every single fight now. I get the idea of a warning, but maybe after the tenth time I know what I’m doing? Good or bad, it’s my choice not to use an event medal, so don’t harrass me all the time. ---

Why wouldn’t you just use it though? I’m more bothered that I don’t get a warning when I have event medals equipped for non-event battles. ---

> [@MagiBelgr](#): > > Why wouldn’t you just use it though? I don’t think it’s worth it - I’d rather use the Medal of All Seasons, which gives me +4 to Armor, Life, and Attack. Unless I miscalculated, the bonus from the **BADGE** will get me less than my **MEDAL**. I usually rely more on spell damage than skull damage as well. > [@](#): > > I’m more bothered that I don’t get a warning when I have event medals equipped for non-event battles. I certainly agree with that as well. Bad design either way. (Speaking of bad design, I’m not happy with the forum. The bolding is hardly worth the effort…) ---

The last event we had with skull medals but no skull troops, my husband was getting pretty annoyed at the warning. He wanted nysha medals, obviously. I know the devs have said that associating medals to teams proved difficult from a UI standpoint on mobile, but perhaps that needs to be revisited. It would fix so many issues. Have a set of medals equipped to each team slot and each event. It fixes the event warning medal issue, it fixes the GW medal issue… ---

The issue is that medals are **BAD**. They are **BADLY DESIGNED** and **BADLY IMPLEMENTED**. Everything they touch turns to ash and everything else the devs do to them makes them _worse_. ---

I would mind if medals would be removed from the game. A useless aspect which I constantly have to manage. On-topic: If your guild reached reward 6-7 you can make a medal relatively cheap and 140% skull dmg easily outdo 3 medal of seasons. ---

Skull medals also increase the damage of exploding doomskulls. Use Ironhawk, for instance, and it will do a massive amount of skull damage without having to match any skulls. ---

Iron hawk is making troops drop like flies. It wouldn’t be doing that without the event medals. ---

So maybe a way around Event Medals would be to implement them like Delve/Boss traits instead – kind of like Potions! Although factoring in the guild rewards and increasing the boost rather than just adding another ~10% per token (so you don’t end up with a long list of % boosts you have to count) might prove difficult. ---

It’d be nice to disable alot of the fluff. I left the game a couple months ago to play other things. I’d still play my daily cardio if it wasn’t just annoying to click so many things to do my grinds, this included.
