I'm inclined to believe that posting too often makes me lose my Mythic status. For the past week, I've been posting three to five times in the mains, and mostly in private groups. This is the longest my Mythic stayed.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] AcedannyK 7 I have a severe case of Heroic right now. Slowly on the road to recovery. The source was a 7 day holiday resulting in absence from the Bnet. This is the price I must pay.[/quote]Slowly, you say? OT: I'm flickering right now :O

Did some research and I found out I was normally Legendary during the middle or near the end of a month starting from July. Doesn't make sense.

Keyword was may. It's been speculated that brief periods of very high actvity, followed by periods of lower activity, can be detrimental. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] im am b0red [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] st3althsniper22 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] im am b0red Reallly thought I would have that Heroic by now...[/quote] When you post 200 times a day for a week, then stop and go down to 5-10 posts, the system may take it as spam and not give you a title you may otherwise qualify for. [/quote] Why would high activity qualify as spam? I never dodged the spam filter or just posted non-sense over and over. I would hope the system is smart enough to know that high activity =/= spam.[/quote]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] chubbz [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ArchAssain As we all know you do not a get Mythic member title on Bungie.net for beating Halo 3 or Reach on the mythic difficulty. :P There are many factors that effect your title we just don't know what they all are or how much any of the factors effect your "title rating," shall we call it.[/quote] If I had a dollar for every time someone misinterpreted something I said and then rehashed the OP at me like I just joined the site yesterday... I know that the two aren't linked. What I'm saying is that they're similar in the sense of where each title/difficulty is in the tier, in relation to the others. Heroic difficulty is harder than normal but easier than Legendary, Heroic members have been here longer than normal members but not as long as Legendaries.[/quote] Defiantly not disagreeing with you at all. The similarities just not linked directly to you're B.net title status. accomplishment.
