Who the hell do you think I am?

I'm a little confused. Within a week and a half to two weeks I went from Heroic to Legendary and then today back to Heroic.
The system isn't supposed to make sense.

Just stay active. It'll come back soon enough.

Yep. Happened to my friend with heroic, it kept switching for about a month then he finally got it to stay. After that he got banned :P

It didn't bother me at all, but my title was switching back and forth for about a month. I didn't change my posting behavior at all and it finally stuck.

My theory is that some, not all, users have to go through a "transitional phase". The system sometimes has to register you as a new title. Either that, or someone else is fighting for the same title slot as you. Either way, just keep up the activity and eventually it should stick.

Users aren't competing with each other for a set or percentage based amount of titles anymore. It hasn't been that way for some years.

The [trust] rating isn't relative to every other user anymore, it is a fixed scale, i.e., get X trust, get A title, get Y trust, get B title, etc.

If I become Mythic, then the system really doesn't make sense.

I think it is clever that bungie has said that the system is not supposed to make sense, that way if anything ever goes wrong, they can just blame it on that, and no one would ever know.

Wow, I never thought of it that way. It makes a little sense now. The only thing I want to know is, why is it that I can't rank up?

How many warnings or bans do you have? How long were the bans? When were they? How active of a member would you say you are?

Based on how little information I currently have, I give you around three months (very rough estimate).

Is this where I go to complain about my flickering title?

Really, though, although I'd love a new system less based on beer pong and chance, I just don't think it would be a Bungie title if it weren't.

Okay, bear with me, this will be slightly confusing.

When ranking up its assumed by some that only a set precentage of members can get Heroic, Legendary and Mythic, for example:
05% of population = Mythic
10% of population = Legendary
15% of population = Heroic

To get each Base title you need to get a certain ammount of 'trust', again heres an example;
1000 trust points = Mythic
0750 trust points = Legendary
0500 trust points = Heroic

Because the base titles may be set to a certain population you may not be able to be Heroic, even if you have enough trust points, so its assumed by some that you'll have to wait for someone to be warned or banned and for them to loose their title for other members to 'rank up' and take their place.

However if you have more trust points then you could also rank up. Heres another example:
You are a 'member', you have enough points to be Heroic however you don't get Heroic as there can only be a certain ammount of Heroic members. So you keep posting and being active.
The Heroic member at the bottom of trust point list (say has 550 points) isn't as active as you are so eventually you get a higher trust point than him.
This means that he'll loose his Heroic and you'll gain it and take his place.

Do you kinda get it what i'm on about?

This is only a theory, this could be total jibberish so don't quote me on it!

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

Seems like a good theory to me.

But didn't Achronos say at one point that this is actually how the system works?

Yes, I believe it was Achronos who first proposed this. Maybe the link to said quote is somewhere in the OP.

Yes, but that was before he said that titles are no longer dependent on other users, so it shouldn't be correct.

You know, I'm not sure if I really believe that, because titles being based off of other users just makes no sense, and I know this system isn't supposed to make sense, but that's just ridiculous.

Well I guess it used to be like that, but no one can really prove that since only the webteam knows the system.
