Jet Cash also didn't get the 500 merit and I think he was a bit above a hero when the merit system came out (not entirely sure though).
Jet Cash has reached the 1000 merits on his own, the original merit count was 500 for him. He has collected the merits fairly quickly to become a Legendary as far as I remember
I know but I thought he was at the requirement to get the extra 500 merit was the thing I was questioning?
If I understood it right, 500 extra merit was given to some hero members to get them up to legendary if they had a certain activity high enough for it.
