I think so too, it is too difficult.
I have done translation work and SCAM warnings, etc but I have never gotten it.
You need to rethink and try to focus on sections getting good number of merits. One such section is this meta section itself. But do not think that just adding 20-30 pots here everyday will give you merits. First learn about the different forum rules using the past threads. Also, go through the responses of senior members to questions asked in official thread. Give more time to this aspect and less to making posts here. Very soon, you will stat writing helpful posts and attract lot of merits.
