I think a new rank should be added for the poor legendary users, something like "Mythical".
Like a guy here said: the rich get richer and the poor poorer.
The poor legendary got so many merits in the last 3 days and they can't do anything with them. It's a shame really.
Well, "Mythical" as a new ranking level is actually a very good idea. I have been thinking for a while that some new level would become necessary as the tsunami of newbies of the forum would advance in rank, otherwise in a few years there would be tens of thousands of Legendary - something which would look quite ridiculous. Well, now with the new rules this won't be necessary any more, very very few are likely to make it to the rank of Legendary IMHO.
