Even so, for the sake of seeing the magnitude of the effect:
The Merit Dashboard shows an all-time historical (more prone to Rank distortion) aggregate of:
Legendary-> Legendary: 538.953 (58,05%)
Legendary->Newbie: 33.230 (3,58%)
From the 01/07/2022 until the 08/07/2022 (small Rank distortion):
L-> L: 3042 (56,68%)
L->N: 223 (4,16%)
Percentages are more or less in the same magnitude.
Yeah minor changes as I expected. In a whole picture, things don't change much (minor ones) but in local pictures, there are. However, if a whole picture is good enough, the forum is fine.
- Personally, I don't expect to see any big change with such things.
- Generally, the overall distribution of merit between members and member ranks won't change much
- I stopped making topics about merits when I see people feel overwhelming with it and personally I don't have more time to play with stats.
