The old system had flaws .

Post a few times a week and make rank.

Have multiple accounts create a few threads and in a year. Of posting to yourself and your alts you can have three or four good looking accounts.

In two years you would have hero accounts.

In three or four years you have legendary accounts .

You then can do some nice rip offs.  Yeah it would be long but if done correctly a lot could be stolen.

I escrow . I have a legendary account I have escrowed 50k in usd.


I think there is a fear of someone doing a long con with the old system.

All the senior guys now have a long delay to be a hero so maybe they will be stopped from scamming.

If 1 in 20 seniors are looking to reach hero to scam they will be slowed a lot.
