Thanks!
Apparently members of the forum with an activity of 700-774 was very disappointed.
Thats me. One week after release of Merit system I got enough activity to become Legendary - 775. So, I can say that Merit system was released one week too early
. But I can't say that I'm very disappointed. Maybe I'm a bit unlucky, but anyway, Legendary rank wouldn't make big difference for me because it has same benefits as Hero rank in general. And maybe one day, after 5 or 10 years I will be Legendary with 10000 activity
I had 2 months to get the legendary rank. Then a Merit system was introduced and I thought that I was treated unfairly. But now it does not matter. The amount of merit indicates the utility is much more than the rank on the forum. I see a lot of legendary ranks with a few received merits or even 0.
But once the decision has been made, it will be necessary to earn merit.
