What Scout Tiers are

Scout Tiers are Legacy Social's progression path. As members participate on the platform, they can earn XP and move through higher tiers that represent more activity, more contribution, and more visible platform history.

The purpose is to make participation feel earned. A member's tier is not only a label; it is part of their profile identity and can connect to rewards, unlocks, and status as the platform grows.

How XP is earned

XP can come from eligible platform activity such as creating posts, commenting, replying, voting in polls, receiving engagement, completing eligible actions, earning trophies, inviting qualified users, and participating in supported community features.

Not every action will always award XP, and XP values can change as the platform balances rewards. The important idea is that meaningful participation helps a member progress.

What social trophies are

Social trophies recognize platform accomplishments. Unlike Legacy Scoring trophies, which are tied to imported fantasy league history, social trophies are tied to actions on Legacy Social itself.

A member may earn social trophies for profile activity, content creation, engagement, discovery, platform item activity, community participation, and other platform-defined achievements.

Trophy milestones

Some trophies can have milestones. A member might unlock a trophy for doing something once, then continue making progress toward higher thresholds connected to that same activity.

Milestones help make long-term participation visible. Instead of a trophy ending after one unlock, the platform can keep recognizing continued progress.

Why progression is activity-based

Scout Tiers are meant to reflect participation over time, not a single purchase or one lucky moment. A member who regularly contributes useful posts, replies to football conversations, votes in polls, and completes eligible profile activity should build a more visible platform history.

That design helps keep the tier system connected to community behavior. The goal is to reward members who make Legacy Social feel active and useful for other football fans.

How to make progress without spamming

The best way to progress is to participate in ways that would still be useful without a reward attached. Ask clear fantasy football questions, answer other members thoughtfully, vote in polls honestly, and use rooms that match the topic you want to discuss.

Empty repetition, low-effort posting, and off-topic activity are not the point of the system. Legacy Social is built to recognize meaningful football participation, not to turn every action into a race for points.

How trophies differ from ordinary stats

Ordinary stats can show how many actions a member completed. Trophies are meant to turn important thresholds into clearer moments of recognition. That difference matters because a profile should not only be a spreadsheet of activity.

A trophy can mark a first meaningful contribution, a sustained habit, a milestone, or a special achievement. When trophies are paired with Scout Tiers, they help tell the story behind a member's progress instead of only showing a number.

Why profile context matters

Scout Tiers and trophies are most useful when other members can understand what they mean. A higher tier, a trophy case, and recent achievement activity can help new visitors quickly understand whether someone is active, experienced, helpful, or deeply invested in the community.

That context supports better conversations. Members can find people who care about the same football topics, recognize contributors who have been around, and see how participation turns into a visible Legacy Social history.

How this appears on profiles

  • Scout Tier progress helps show where a member stands in the platform progression path.
  • Earned trophies can appear in the Trophy Case.
