Hero and Legendary already seem pompous enough names, which are difficult to surpass without going into the realm of the gods.

+1, while I would put "getting into the realm of bullshit" instead that bold part, as that's what making up new ranks just for the sake of it looks like to me.

Since the Merit System was set in motion(*), 182 Legendary members (48 from scratch) have ranked-up needing Merits in the process, and 173 Heroes (71 from scratch). Not that many considering (besides all those pre-Merit System ranked members also existing).

This also serves as an answer to those asking for increased merit requirement for current ranks as they don't realize that very few managed to reach Legendary rank since merit system kicked in, compared to the amount of new members.

There could be room for additional ranks, although I wouldn’t say that there is any seemingly good reason for it beyond elevating the ego of those that would meet the requirement, at most.

This sums it up really, its all about the ego and that's the one thing I noticed on all forums; after they spend a lot of time on some forum, some people start taking it way too seriously and even substituting real life accomplishment with the forum ones. I am not saying that all people asking for more ranks are doing that, but I've experienced that more than once in the real life.

All these demands for the extra titles, ranks, badges and whatnot reminds me of the image below. Do we really need that?
