Hi bro.Let me share feelings with you.
Im in same state at the moment and I'm pretty sure Merit wont solve the problem they are trying to solve.

They're trying to slow down the speed of ranking and the merit system is going pretty well with it.

this system is also negative for me but I believe that after merit system posts are going to catch quality than now.

It's obvious you're against merit. Just look on the text you typed, that's not the thing people would reply you with merit.
