Ranks don't really mean anything here, and being Legendary won't earn you any more respect than being a Newbie. You get access to better signatures as you get a higher rank and that's it.

If you want to be respected, show it through the way you interact with the community.

There are many Legendary accounts are unable to get acceptance to join high-paid campaigns (in BTC). At somewhat extent, Legendary rank does not help you to get higher payments and get acceptance to join good campaigns. It's the truth, that partially built up by merit system - that plays as important tool to screen out good and bad posters via their merit histories.
If you are here to read and learn, you sure don't need motivational reasons to keep reading and learning; then ranking up to Legendary member or not does not a matter with you.
If you need motivational stories, please read Inspirational stories from self-made promoted users. After reading, you might find your reasons to keep moving.

There are a lot of things that you get officially:

Gets 5 gold coins under his name of which the last is half dark blue.
Background color allowed

In addition to the possibility of hiding advertisements.
In general, there is no difference between Hero rank and legendary one (Just half dark blue coin.)
So perhaps the hero rank is the only one that has real changes.

Becoming a legendary member shouldn't be your goal now because you are still new on here and don't focus on that yet,better spend your time on learning about crypto first and gradually you will rank up in time,if you rush you will crash

[Woodie]

Honestly for those thinking in monetary lines it's pretty much about having higher bounty rewards other than this it means nothing though you are expected to have gathered more info about the crypto ecosystem to help others but unfortunately this is far from the case thanks to account sales and different interests.

Self-gratification and a sense of achievement.  Why do people spend years to prepare to climb Mount Everest? It gives them some brag rights, because they climbed the highest mountain in the world. Not everyone in the world can say that they reached the pinnacle of a specific achievement, because it is never easy to reach the top. <If it was, then it would be less of an achievement> 

So, grinding constructive posts every day and building a good post history to climb the ranks on this forum is a good achievement on it's own. Some people take shortcuts by buying those accounts, but you quickly spot those users and they will never have the same feeling than the people who worked hard for it.

Aside from the things you’ve already mentioned (*), it’s likely down to ego and a sense of achievement; even more so since the merit system was created due to it now not being simply a question of being a persistent poster, but rather more of being able to create decent content persistently (way different than before).

(*) The respect that you mention is a false impression, likely to be more present when one is fairly new to the forum (after all, Legendary does sound like something rather outstanding at first). Overtime, you get to consider the persona behind the profile, regardless of their rank.

The only concrete incentive to be legendary is to get into higher paying sig campaigns, but as time goes on the difference between senior, hero and legendary will blur in those terms.

A properly run campaign will want good posters. Rank will come second to the quality of what you write.

There's no way anyone can now become legendary just for the sake of it. There are tons of try hard posters with no merit because what they write is vacuous and clearly playing to the crowd.

You won't get the merit you need by faking enthusiasm, helpfulness or knowledge. If you have it it'll be rewarded. If you don't people will see through it.

This is true, and in ChipMixer signature campaign Senior, Hero and Legendary members have the same pay rate, and in some other SC differences between ranks in this matter are very small.

I am not sure is there any restriction is signature for Hero compared to Legendary, but except that half dark blue coin the difference is only in the name and fact that users need some more time to become Ledgendary (for me almost 2.5 years before Merit).

Considering that these days is become very hard to become even Hero member, and fact that some Legendary members are perma-banned on a weekly basis, number of Legendary accounts will most likely only decrease with time.

I've never noticed that dark blue thing before. Now I feel an extra foot taller.

I'm not sure how I feel about how few people have ranked up since the merit system was introduced - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4850225.0

32 users have earned enough merit to be legendary and some of them may have been heroes when it was introduced. If I was a fresh arrival here that would look daunting. I think I'd put it in the back of my mind and just get on with getting on.

This is the current set of profiles that have formally ranked-up under the Merit System:

15 people have made it to Legendary needing merits in the process (14 were Hero Members to start with, and one was a Sr. Member (@bob123)). In addition, 70 profiles made it to Hero, 122 to Sr. Member, 194 to Full Member, 3.420 to Member and 10.565 to Jr. Member.

This is interesting to see too:

The reading is that 734 profiles could have made it to legendary (minimum 775 activity- not considering magic number), but only 15 of them have made it so far. Likewise for example, 1.331 Sr. Members could have made it to Hero (by activity), but only 70 comply additionally with the merit requirement.

<...> So i am the first Sr. reaching legendary after merit got introduced? Sounds sweet.

Yep, as per my calculations.

[Indamuck]

Its nice and all but don't put too much effort trying to rank up your virtual points when you should be doing more things in real life and making memories.  Reminds me of people that spend all day on video games to get a virtual badge when it ultimately just shows how much valuable time you wasted.

[bob123]

The legendary title just shows that you are long member of this community.
There is no real impact at all. Especially in comparison to the hero member status.

Once you reached hero member, you already have the most fancy possible signature. And therefore there is no difference in the earnings between a hero and a legendary. At least i am not aware of a campaign which distinguishes between heroes and legendaries.

But you don't need to reach one of these both ranks to get a reputable member on this forum.
Your actions count more than the title below your username.

It is very hard to understand your question.

Best thing is first to practice and learn english a bit better,
or be more active in your local Bitcointalk community forum section.

You give yourself a reachable goal, Jr.member, than member...
and maybe even highest ranks who knows

I don't know what exactly you don't understand in OP's question.. but i understood it without problems.

Maybe your english is not good enough to understand his question ? OP's language skills are definitely good enough to be understood.

Yeah, maybe I could  phrase it a bit better,
and it is regarding lack of spaces in his sentence

... respectful rankand higher bounty reward?is there other things that can motivate me to want to be a Legendary member?pls share

and my suggestion for him was not to aim for Legendary rank and then lose motivation,
but to go step by step... one rank at the time. At the moment he is still a Newbie .

I hope you understand.

My English is far from perfect, but I am still learning every day.

Space or not what this person post makes sense and understandable,many replied and you seem to be the only one complaining,a newbie that can still post a neat post like that is fine by me

Advantage of being legendary in bitcointalk:

1.More signature space

2.Five stars under your profile.

3.While being a participant of campaign chances of getting more rewards.

1. You get the maximum signature space when getting Member (4000 characters).
And there is no difference regarding the signature between legendary and hero member.

2. You get 5 coins once you reach hero member. When turning legendary, the last coin turns half blue.

3. Usually there is no difference between a hero and a legendary member regarding the rewards.

There are some ad signature campaigns which will pay a bit more more if you're a Legandary vs Hero member:
