I dont have any idea about your talking about, but I'm agree with Mr. Vod about this:

Why do you need to rank up?
The merit system was created to benefit those who want to talk bitcoin, not those that want to advance their rank....
That's wise words, and remind me...Why I'm in here...
Merit system and Rank system is different points, but this two system colaborated to improve your rank.
Merit system need quality posts to get it (high quality posts is better)
Rank system need your activity and merit system.
And as we know, user activity can get to easy abuse just by post-report bounty campaigns. Let's talk about your opinion (your dream, eh)
1- Due to many posts in different sections, there are members who did not get points ( because most users read the topic and just few posts ) even though there are acceptable quality posts in every topic ( As a matter of fact, in every topic there are just 1 or 2 members who get a merit point )
There's two type topic that I know: Quality Topic and Garbage Topic.
If you posting something good at Quality Topics, you will helped by other members and give you some merit
But if you posting something good at Garbage Topics, who wants to see/read your posts in garbage place?
2- People who have multiple accounts are manipulating the merit system and making other members rank up.
And they will stuck at their rank, nobody will help them by send a merit.
3- The majority of points are sent to legendary members and the trusted ones and especially for those who know each other, even though they dont need these points because they are at the highest rank.
For my opinion, Legendary need it for distribute merit to those who deserve it. Legendary rank have more experience about technical and ecosystem in this forum than other users in here.
The solutions to improve the merit system:

There's no solution with your dream
Honestly, In the first period I was critical of this update, but now my opinion is completely changed and the truth that the merit system is going well and everyone must accept that change, but the problem is the majority of members are accustomed to rank easily, so everyone must deal with this update and all people should stop complaining . On the other hand , we should give more effort to get merit points .
Well, I admit that at first I was wrong in some opinions, but from 29th January to 19th February, my idea about the merit system is completely changed.
So the merit system is going so well.
But I respect your opinion although it is a bit late.
