I second (or third) that idea.

Especially since, honestly... it makes no sense.

We can @%@#%ing time travel, people! You're taking my medal away because I've been gone a month? Well, let me hop in this cavernous maw wayback machine here and fix that. Duh.

Once you achieve something, it should be yours forever. Imagine if they decided the same thing was "okay" for jobs...

"SE has introduced an exciting new update for jobs! Starting next update, jobs will gradually lose exp over time when not in use, equaling to one level lost every 2 weeks. We think this will be an "exciting" way to keep people leveling up low level jobs, kupo!"

GRRRRrrrr.....

Is to the medals. I hate the fact that I work and can't always do Campaign and I end up losing them. They need to make it so you don't lose them you need to do a quest to reactivate they is all. I mean after all they remind you to not forget work friends school and all that but then they punish you when the real world pulls you away from the game. But that just my 2 gil.
