I remember that day, when the merits become a thing in the forum. Since I was a Legendary user at that point I get instant 1000 merits, and when I realize other users have to get those 1000 merits to become a legendary user I really feel bad for them.

It has been a long time, this week was the 5th birthday of the merits system as we can see in this thread ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0 ). And a lot of people have worked hard to become legendary user in the forum. So, I was thinking...

Let's rest 1000 merits to all the legendary users from those who get 1000 merits and make a new raking for those who haven't hit the 1000 merits. 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.

What would be a good name for this new rank?

That's called power creeping.

A certain flaw in game balance design, where content released later tends to get more powerful as time goes. This can be seen in multiplayer games that have regular expansions or balance patches.

The merit system was created because people were creating account farms and it was too easy to do it. Merits didn't stop the farmers but slowed them down. Maybe the old farmers got away with it because they already had an army but it did stop the newbies from creating new farms.

I don't think we need more of this thing. Getting to legendary is already hard enough. No need to turn this forum into an RPG where you upgrade items and ranks.

Reading the topic, too, in my head all the time, I did not leave the thought of turning the ranking by the gradation of the rarity of heroes into an RPG, it remains only to add the divine rank and there will be complete completeness.
