You could literally have as many Hero accounts as you wanted just by logging in once a day to claim a giveaway and 1.4 years later you'd have an arsenal of Hero accounts farmed
Imagine now for a second that all Hero accounts on the forum will be declassified with a starting merit of 10. How many of them can even reach the 100 merit for Full member Rank without abusing the system?
Imagine the whine.
