Seriously? That's an absolute joke given how many active users there are in this forum. It's like squeezing a dried dish towel for a drop of water when you need a bucket of it. Even people that make frequent good posts that receive +1 merit will spend years for their next rank up. There are exceptions yes, but it's incredibly rare and will remain incredibly rare unless the merit system is drastically changed.
Let it remain incredibly rare then.
What good is a title of "Legendary" if it's common?
You know what irks me was the plethora of legendary shitposters since I joined the forum. I agree the rank should be rare, but it would be great if everyone had to re-earn their merit and the shitposters weren't grandfathered in so easily.
