So I think this merit mechanism is unfair, because it would allow those legendary or heroic users to profit from the merit mechanisms, and not to upgrade those who can not afford it.
I'm definitely coming from the opposite perspective here, as being here on these forums for a while and finally reaching a high ranking. However, I don't think this system is particularly unfair. Those who have merit will not be selling it; hero and legendary members at this point in time know better than to sell their merit. Even if it is being sold, it ends up being pretty obvious because all you need to do is look at the suspects posts and who merited them.
There's nothing about affording here; merit is not a form of money. It's (I guess) just another way of protecting the forum from spammers who are just trying to get into sig campaigns.
Very well said, The merit system is to protect this forum from those shit poster who are posting non sense and spreading shit comments like "Thank you" "Looking forward" "Good luck" and anything like this. The mods and other staffs with authority are working so hard to clean this forum from those people specially those farmers who uses multi accounts on the forum to farm from bounties.
