Topic: Attaining legendary rank - is that the end? - page 5. (Read 1262 times)

Definitely there are some users that received the merit airdrop, some are bounty hunters and they never had more merits again. Such people are poor posters.

Some received the airdrop, sell their accounts (and probably they have many). Who supposed to be a newbie bought it. I regard those and some other bounty hunters as newbie legendaries because of their newbie kind of posting.

Yes. But those that started as newbies and were able to rank up and the the ones that were able to receive more and more merits after the merit airdrops are good posters if they continue to receive merits as long as they are actively posting on this forum and having quality contribution.

I've been noticing this particular aspect in this forum since I joined in February of this year. Many legendary members do not receive more merits than lower rank members, in my opinion. This led me to believe that they had attained the highest rank and didn't require merit to move up. They can contribute whenever they want or not, and even provide detailed answers to questions that deserve to be answered. They only comment when they feel it is necessary and add to their post count, which is especially important for signature campaigns.

What I’m curious about is that only a few legendary guys are always active in the forum and providing lasting solutions to questions posed in the forum. Others that are active only post to complete their signature posts. Does that imply that after getting to legendary rank, making posts or comments to be merited is not necessary again? Kudos to those legendary guys that are always active and provide solutions to questions even when they’re not on any campaign. They’re amongst the real heroes here.

Many people used to come here to shitpost before the merit system was implemented. Merits were airdropped for users back then; is this why they don't understand the value of being a legendary because they didn't earn it through their knowledge contributions to the forum, but rather by simply posting whatever they wanted?

I recall a thread from this forum when a newbie asked a question about this: “Is there any specific Boards for newbies to Make Posts/Comments?
This particular reply baffled me and was prompt to ask this question on this topic today.

Can we conclude that not all legendaries are knowledgeable in the forum? I myself was scared to answer or quote legendaries when I initially joined the forum.

This post is not to disregard any legendary rank member in this forum. I only came up with this topic out of curiosity
