Thanks for clearing it up TOM.
Actually, you could get it back sooner I believe because of trust points.

Lets say it takes 5000TP to become a Legendary member, and you had 5050TP before your ban. Now lets say that that ban removed 1500TP, leaving you with 3550TP. Well it takes 4000TP to become a Heroic, and 150TP took you a week or so to gain. Now all you have to do is earn 1000TP which will take a bit longer. Six months longer? Not necessarily.

I dunno, that's just my assumption, an no I do not know how many TP Talon had, or how many it takes for a new member title.

This is what I was getting at. With this post^, you are assuming that the point threshold is set, and once a user reaches 5000 points, that they become Legendary. I think that it is relative from the top depending on the number of users. Let's say user #1 has 10 000TP. Then either x% of users or yTP from that user is the threshold for Mythic.

Actually, I believe you are right upon further consideration. So basically this:

Person A has the highest TP of the day at 10,000. Exactly x% of user below him have the Mythic Title bar.

Person B was an unlucky fellow, and was just out of range of the x%, and is the member with the highest TP of a Legendary member. From there y% is given the Legendary Title bar

And on it goes.

That would explain why I lost my Legendary Title, even though nothing in my activity/ban history changed.

Get your PPD up to 7 and you should be fine. I got my Legendary, and kept it a few weeks with a PPD of 7.32.

Do you mean "get to" legendary? It shows you are fabled Heroic member.

I don't really think PPD has that much of an effect on Heroic, Legendary, or Mythic titles as people think. It may make a difference for Intrepid or Fabled, but not Heroic, Legendary, etc. The actual titles is based off of trust points, although I guess posting more could bring up your trust points.

So, you're posting just for a higher title?

Anyways, wake me up when it's January 15th; hopefully I get Heroic.

He created his account on May 15th of this year. If he has been active daily with no bans/warnings, many people think 6 months or so you can get your Heroic title. Right? I think?

That's right.

Does anyone have an idea how often the trust system updates?
I reckon there must be roughly a 3 day delay seeing as I didn't post at all over Christmas, and lost the Heroic title today.

It's no myth, you guys just aren't taking in all the information. It's not just PPD. Hell, activity isn't even solely judged by PPD. You guys try to make the system sound so flat.

"By this date if I post a bunch I will have this title unless I get a warning."

Ehh, true, but that;s basically what I've done: posted a lot.

Sure, you can go by any outline of the information. But you aren't going to understand it when the smallest variables kick in. Say, Heyyou losing legendary without being warned even though he's fabled.

True, and I lost my Legendary as well without being warned. There are tons of variables.

Oh, and I don't know if this has been brought up, but I have a theory. I believe that if you post in a thread, or make a thread that gets locked, it effects your TP.

When enlightenment is the question. The Answer is Pain.
When Ignorance is the problem. The Answer is Blood.
When love is absent. Hatred fills the void.

Hmm maybe, I can't think of anything right now...but if you could explain?


....maybe that would help.

Yes and no. I have jumped from Member right to Legendary (then I went to Mythic the following day). I have also, on a separate occasion, gone from Member right to Mythic. However, this only tends to happen on older accounts which have had a few bans in the past. As soon as their bans wear off they jump rapidly through the titles, often skipping them. For those ban free you'll go through them in order unless you are inactive for a lengthy period.

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

Well, meaybe if that member had lots of bans and warnings during the first couple of years. When all that stuff wears off, they might leapfrog titles. It's not likely though.
