Is that true? means the old system is very easy to reach the legendary level?
Not really although based on what I read the merit was airdropped to some people after the introduction of the merit system probably based on the activity then but I don’t think it was actually easy to rank up immediately after the introduction. Some of those it was airdropped to couldn’t cope and had to bow out of the forum as for those reputable members you could see them still contributing greatly into the forum. The reason why I feel the merit system is easy now is because there different threads by merit sources to review one’s post and this has made it possible for members to rank and I doubt it was in existence then.
Yes I have no intention of reporting anyone here. I do not hate differences of opinion precisely that is where the discussion will work, because there are differences of opinion. But opinions that have good arguments, not just nonsense
But from your post you seemed certain that other high ranking members post are of less quality. So the best thing if you actually care for the forum been free from less quality posts then you would certainly report those posts and the moderators will access them and probably delete the posts that truly of less quality.
Also I think the criteria to meet weekly post count actually make some members to post with less quality some times
