I have lost good Hero and Legendary posters on my list because they copypasted something years ago and it seems they cannot join again for a year. Now im having a hard time picking up experienced posters. Most Legendaries aren't even that active anymore since they are probably rich from bitcoin. They are the ones that have been here through all the hard forks and know how things work. This has been a mistake. If it happened more than 1 or 2 years ago and it wasn't much I wouldn't kick them out of the campaign if they were doing a good job. It should be the managers doing the casting and evaluating case by case. It feels like the state is telling me who I can hire or not.
The one problem this merit system has sprawled up is this distinction between heroes and legendaries. when first campaigns were categorizing according to rank, remember there was no distinction between a hero and legendary. Simply because their signature spaces do not differ from each other in terms of the benefit they give.
So all this bullshit about segragating hero pay vs legendary pay is a ploy by campaign managers and campaign runners (projects) to pay less for the same service. Anyone arguing that a legendary brings more prestige or reputation to the post, then they can stop right there and kiss my ass.
