If somebody can't understand how I was able to rank up so fast from Hero to Legendary, I will explain that when merit was introduced it was 2 days before my promotion to Hero rank. So I had enough activity and only needed merits.
I knew there had to be members in that awful position when the merit system was rolled out, but I didn't know who. That sucked for you, but you did it and you ought to be proud--I've read quite a few posts of yours in English and some of them were exceptionally good. Let that be an example to others. Congrats.
mu_enrico who is active in the Indonesian local board has received enough merits to rank up to Legendary but does not have sufficient activity.
Good for him, because he's another member who consistently makes quality posts. And as far as Loycemobile goes, I figured that account would have no problem climbing the ranks. The rest of the members on the list I'm not all that familiar with, but congratulations to them as well.
And man, I know it's a weekly list but I would think that there would be a lot more members ranking up. I've handed out a ton of merits in October, but it seems like I need to step it up even more. There used to be a list of members who were close to ranking up but needed the merits to do so. Does that list still exist and is it being maintained? I don't remember having seen it in a long time.
