I wish I joined this forum before all merit point system started. Almost on every thread I read about disappointed members regarding the new ranking bulls...t.

That means you're reading the wrong threads. Go read threads about Bitcoin instead of Meta and Off-topic. You'll learn more if you do that.

It worries my seeing not many posts getting merits.

I see plenty of posts earning Merit. Check Recent merits, and start reading those posts.

I have limited knowledge and skills to be able to earn these points and it freaks me out. I know at my level it isn't a must to earn them,but when my activity points go up I'll need to to rank up.

You just said you have limited knowledge. Why is ranking up so important to you? (rhetorical question)

I see newbies even member and higher up asking for help and tips how to work their way up what fustrates me the most how desperate others. Is it going to be any changes or we got to leave with this merit nightmare???

The Merit system works the way it's designed to be:

It's too early to get a clear picture, but my thoughts so far:

First, most people complaining about merit are constantly posting garbage, and should not rank-up. The forum is not a welfare system; you don't run through a few hoops and then get paid for doing something that nobody actually wants. I like that good forum members can make money, especially when said forum members are in poorer countries and this is a major opportunity for them. I very much do not want to destroy the sig-ad/airdrop/bounty "industry". But I am not going to tolerate people posting garbage upon garbage.
