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.
you are right, merit system does reduce the number of spamer
but, the negative impact of merit system is that we will be very long to raise rank, because it requires a lot of merit.
and I have seen, not all good posts get merit.
if you make a good post. but people who read do not like it, then you will not get merit.
Yeah your'e right,and you can see some other newbie has a merit points.
