My account being a perfect example here. I had 1000 default merit and I think activity as same as the OP but I did not reach the legendary rank. Like you said it's random when one becomes a legendary while activity being in the scale of 950-1030.
I never saw Hero member ranked up to Legendary lately (or I just missed them). Looks like Mr. Joel_Jantsen is the first one from Hero to Legendary who will rank up in time. Congratulating you as well Mr. But, I really thought you're already a Legendary, I often saw your posts but I never noticed that your still a Hero, maybe it's because the number of Activity and Merits attracts my eyes that's why I thought you're a Legendary.
By the way, I don't know if you're a moderator or not but the way you help the forum is more similar to a Moderator. I acknowledged such persons like you.
To OP, sorry if I'm off-topic. But I would like to tell you something since I already posted here. Just try to reach the amount of Merits required and I can assure you that you will rank up without worrying the activity
You still have 430 merits to go but you will have no trouble receiving it as I can sense that you are also one good poster.I'm not sure what benefits there are with being a legendary
There might be no such benefits, but ranking to Legendary with Merit System will Somehow represent that you have been rewarded Sir Jet, I would like to be the person to give you your 1000th merit if ever that you already have 999. I will be keeping an eye to your Merit points starting now. Please don't ask me why.
