It used to be much easier to become a Heroic member. One of my other accounts became Heroic after only a few weeks of posting. Then they changed it from earning a certain amount trust in comparison to everyone else that day to earning a set amount of trust compared to a number they have decided on.
It is my personal opinion that Heroic, Legenday and Mythic member titles are all the same, they just depend on how long you have been a member for. So to become Heroic you need x trust over a period of days, to be promoted to legendary you need x trust over a period of days plus you have to have been active for y months.
I also have a feeling that there are a set percentage of Heroic, Legendary and Mythic members and when one is demoted another is promoted.
Anyone want to comment on my theories?
The titles seem to be way more dependant upon how long someone has been a member rather than how active they are. I say this because I've observed members who have only posted a few times and have jumped straight to Mythic, while there are members who post 20 times a day and are only Heroic.
My personal theory is that the majority of trust gained is simply from staying on bungie.net for another day, and being active on the forums is just one of the ways to sustain that trust. That way there is somewhat of a maximum trust a member can achieve based on how old their account is, not necessarily by how active they are. Of course you also have to throw in peer influence, but the same principle stands. ^_^
