A deserved user is a deserved one, no matter which rank is. A non-deserved legendary is a shit user, that built up shit reputation from shit posts.
This doesn't even make any sense?
Merit system works perfectly so far, and nearly completely prevent spammers to rank up. They all run out of their sMerits after their past waves of merit abusements, and after the ban wave, there are very less available sMerits from abusers.
What exactly does "works perfectly" even mean?
A legitimate user does not equal to a good user. Why a legitimate user should rank up if continuous make non-sense, low quality posts? Making non-sense posts is nearly the same spam posts. Posts that are just a little bit longer does not equal to higher quality, and more constructive.
Again, this doesn't make any sense to me. You just restate the same circular reasoning you used above, what is even your point here?
You are literally just restating my quotes at this point... Again, what point are you trying to make besides pointing out the obvious?
IMO, there is no reason to be jealous with old generations, especially shitposters, instead you should focus on your journey, your contributions, to build up your name, and reputation in the forum. Then, you will become a better user than them, and forum community will do realise who you are.
It's not like older members had a choice in this new system, nor did they know it was going to be implemented. They earned their rank under the old system, which may have been less difficult but they still did. There is really no point in comparing the past to the present, as it's a completely different situation. There is really no point in being upset about this, as it's just complaining at this point. The new system is harder, but it's still doable if you put in the effort. The reason a lot of us are stuck is because we spend to much time lamenting the "older members", while we could be contributing to the forum.
This actually made me laugh out loud at how little effort you put into your response, you are no better than those yobit spammers.
