"Go then. There are other worlds than these."

I recently upgraded to Mythic status, which was unexpected but a pleasant surprise. Today I noticed that I went back down to Legendary. I have kept my nose clean so I am curious what I might have done to lose it. I have not been notified of any bans or violations of the community rules. I don't really want to go around PM'ing mods for something like this, just curious if anybody else recently got an unexplained reduction in status.

Apologies if this is the wrong place for this.

Hang on I'll just find my theory post for ya-

I would assume that you were borderline between both and dependant on the number of secure Mythic members in reflection to insecure Mythics your title changed; you might be swapping places with somebody else in a similar position to keep the numbers at the 200 Mythics maximum value. However somebody who you were swapping places with or very close too trust rating wise may have done something to improve their trust rating which may have knocked you out of the Mythic member title criteria because your position was not secure meaning that until you do something of significant affect or are just patient it will be a while until you reach Mythic again.

This is of course a guess but I think it a plausible one. Perhaps Achronos can explain it to you although as we know him giving details on the trust system can be compared to the hardest jigsaw puzzle on the planet.

EDIT: I see several people have lost their Mythic Titles, perhaps Achronos decided 200 Mythics was too much and reduced the amount so people who were (as I said) less secure were demoted because of it.

There are all sorts of variables to trust rating that we will never know. Maybe even posting a censored word could lower trust. even posting in a topic that will later get locked. Perhaps even posting a thread that gets little or know attention (lowering trust because your thread was obviously pointless but not off topic) Just a suggestion. But I don't believe there is a max amount of a certain trust level

Nice work, though.
DANGIT! I knew I was missing something. I even thought of it as I was writing it, but then forgot about it.

I always thought it was it was this, cos my bro had an account and he'd been on for like about a month and had posted quite alot, by the end of the month he was already at legendary status. i never did understand this. Could anyone explain why maybe? i dont recall him doing anything special.

Nice I was wondering what all the stuff with the name bar was about.

Deal with it.

Thanks a ton for the info. I was confused as to why my member title had changed, but this is actually pretty cool. Good idea, Bungie. =)

The jumping too and fro from legendary to mythic seems to be afflicting a fair few of us. I briefly jumped back to mythic on the weekend but now am back to Foghorn Grey.

Yeah. Holy Crap, this morning you were legendary and now you're mythic again.

I guess Tom117 was right.

I'm so good at Halo, Chuck Norris has me as an avoided player.

I went up to Mythic 3 weeks ago, and never went back down to Legendary. Not sure why other people are.
