If you post in the unique section instead of reading here, you can earn merit. You must have activity if you want to achieve full member rank. You create the activity so don't just count down here by locking the talent.
You came to the forum do something for the forum. And use your experience.
what you say you can also use for yourself. you've been on the forum for quite some time, I believe you have a much better chance of ranking up if you put in more effort.
you already have enough activity to rank up, you just need to collect more Merit. keep it up.
