Games.Bitcoin is saying the right thing. I think you are the one misunderstanding what he is trying to say because on the forum someone must be able to share the knowledge he has in the forum before ranking, and you cannot do that without reading other people's posts, so before you reply and make your own comment, you must be knowledgeable about what you are to say, so someone must read before doing that, so if you want to become more successful on the forum, you need to read.
or did people share their knowledge with us today on the forum wakeup with it? No, they also read before they know what they are sharing with us, and with the knowledge they have been giving us, we are appreciating it by sending some merits, which is what makes most of them legendary members. Now, I think that is what Games.itcoin is trying to say
I get it perfectly well but @Games.Bitcoin made it look as if you need to read things in the Forum just to rank up, all I'm saying is that you read and get the knowledge which you do not have but getting things attached to it seems like your major priority is mainly to get to the highest rank like the said legendary or he might be saying you have to read and become a legend in reading that I'd agree but if not no way.
If your research is informative and it helps members in the Forum and not only legendary, it will be appreciated no matter what, either by the reply or through giving out of merit like you said and it doesn't have to be by legendary members, newbies can also share merit to something that interest him or her and if a newbie do appreciate a post by sharing merit does it make the newbies a legendary? No, is just something that every member do but it shouldn't be like you read to be like legendary like you previously said.
