If it's that easy to get points then it defeats the whole purpose of the system and it makes it much easier to farm/sell points.
The legendary crowd doesn't understand because they get (5!) fricken merit for a shitpost like this. You literally spent 10 seconds writing that post and got merited by (guess who?) other legendary members. You created an exclusive club - I'm sure that makes you feel very proud of yourself - you can just tell everyone else to F*Off if they don't like it, because you're in and they are out.
IMO people who decide to create exclusive clubs are compensating for something...
