When I was banned early this year my title went straight back up to Heroic within 1 week. Can someone explain why?
You lose your title for bans, i've had Heroic twice but look at it now. :(
I know why it goes down. Let me re word this, before I was banned I was a Legendary member, then after I came off the ban probation period within 1 week I regained a heroic statues. I thought that it takes 6 months of activity to get to HeroicI'll give it a go because I am bored to death with my coursework... seriously...
Basically title is calculated off of a hidden number value. Your number needs to be a certain percentage of the highest number... Let's say for simplicity sake the highest number is 1000 and you need to have 20% of this to be heroic (200) and 40% to be Legendary (400).
So, imagine you had... 500 trust points before you were banned, making you a secure Legendary Member. But then... you get bant. Getting banned gives you a massive deduction, say 1,000,000 (which keeps your title down at member until the ban lifts); when the ban expires this massive deduction is lifted, however having a ban on your history prevents your trust points from equalling 500.
For sake of explaining this, pretend a 3 day ban = -200 trust points, now your trust is equal to 500 - 200 = 300 making you Heroic, rather than a Legendary; you still have enough points to not be busted down to member. Now bans decay overtime, so... if the negative value was reduced by say... 50 after every month? It would take at least 2-4 months, with this logic, for the ban to have completely worn off and for you to return to a secure Legendary Member.
