There are some users who started newbies when the merit system has implemented but they still managed to get a legendary rank. I know some but will not enumerate them but those are the ones who are contributing here in the forum in their own way.

I thought that this merit system blah blah blah thing has stopped already. The system will be 2 years on January 2020 and still there are newbies who are whining. It is like a government, if you don't want the rules they implement then either go to another country or accept it. It is the same with the forum. If you don't want the rules they implement then leave. Nobody cares with your whining nonsense
