The merit system worked perfect for its real purpose, that is to freeze the situation and to allow high rank to keep their position of power.
What power? I've got no more power than you have.
Well I guess I can add an avatar to my profile - is that power?
He is probably referring to the fact that we have the majority of merit points. At the end of the day you shouldn't really need a high rank unless you need to post a lot and there is already a solution for that, copper members. The fact that people complain so much about merit means it is actually working.
People who complain against System Merit are those who do not have the capacity and desire to be better. Though directly merit system has made us motivated to be able to make a quality post, in essence we are required to contribute to this forum. I admit it is heavy, but we have to respond positively. For someone who really wants a serious concentration to learn Bitcoin and cryptocurrency then merit points can help us to cultivate cryptocurrency much better. Believe that when we do our best then we will also get a satisfactory result. Just imagine when the merit system is not enforced, we will not be serious and maybe our goal is just getting the money alone without any desire to learn Bitcoin much better. In fact we can see that the condition of the current BTT forum is much better than before.
