For example, if you have 1990 merits, then you will be 10 merits away from legendary, but you will have the new rank until then.
I know it's a hypothetical situation you're trying to create here but can we also raise the bar for the new rank requirement to say 2,990 merits (or anything that should be above what you already have). You escaped the first cutoff, you shouldn't escape another one 🤔. Again, to tell you the truth, what you're suggesting concerning the legendary rank that were airdropped 1,000 merits will also need to be applied on lower ranks that were airdropped merits too. Don't you now see how confusing it will turn the whole forum? By the way, who is going to devote the time to gather all that data?
