Yeah for fairness, but the suggestions are reasonable, most ranks have the posts doubled and a bit additional before the next rank but the gap between the Legendary and Mythical is too much. But yeah, i just observed it uses posts counts and not activity then the "other factors" on the linked thread in OP is a secret, why it should be secret in the first place?
Although they are “secrets” and I don't even know with 100% effectiveness how they are linked, there are some things that I have been able to discover just by looking at things a little.
In this post you can see it.
As I just discovered people get stuck in 2000 activity and ranks for no reason, all this discussion becomes pointless.
Until this is fixed and upgraded to a more fair system, there is no reason to discuss anything related to ranks imo.
I joined with several users who are now 2500+ activity and I am stuck at 2000 and the system is working fine according to admin...
bitmover, believe it or not, the system is not broken, the system works. You just have to ask yourself why there are some users who have exceeded 2,000 in activity, and why other users have not. You have the answer in your stats. Now you just have to compare your profile with that of another user who has exceeded 2,000 in activity.
There is the answer.
But make no mistake, it's not just about being connected, other factors come into play.
