you can experience it just by looking in this forum, why i said that? user can give trust rating to members that they have made a deal and for the added reputation we have the merit system.
i think we all expect to see something a little bit more stimulating than the trust system on the forum, even if the goal is the same

Plus, this forum doesnt use any AI/machine learning to filter out questionable ratings/behaviour
Plus the merit system is very new, untested and many users are not satisfied with it.
I can't say anything bad about that merit system. It's the great way to avoid an acc-selling business...
Just wait until you need a lot of merits to level up, then we talk again about it

And about the acc-selling business: It hasn't changed anything on this, just that the prices are now more expensive for accounts as I heared. So in fact, the merit system helped to get sellers higher prices as a lot of those accounts are hacked anyways and not self made.
