Those guys are someone who luckily ranked up to higher-ranks in the forum with unintentionally help from old rank requirements, before the start of merit system. They ranked up this way, so it's easily to understand why they have not earned any singly merit around 10 months after the first active day of merit system. I believe that if someday demotion implemented for higher-rank users, most of them will have to fight hopelessly to get at least one more merit (their first own-made merit) to rank up again to their rank before demoted.
Some legendary or hero for the same reason don't deserve their rank, also for my point of view I can't find the difference on the "good post history" from earning 500 or 1000 merits, some users are spamming the meta 24/7 only to fish merits.
I remembered that I occasionally read somewhere that there are higher proportion of higher rank users who don't earn at least only one merit point till now.
I will find and quote it later.Found it.
