Isn't it so unfair for the people who is new here? That will be struggling making such as good quality post so they could be given a merit by someone. I know all of you is having a hard time thinking what are you going to post such as good quality.

It is really hard to have a merit it is because as far as I know:
People are selfish. Even though you post a really good quality post still there is a people who won't give you a merit.
Some are alone. Like me, I don't really have much friend who would give me a free merit. I know that it is easy to have a merit with a friend that have an account of bitcointalk.

My question is. Why still need merit? We are still struggling to rank because of the merit.

It will be unfair for those people who just started right now but those who already are in a high rank then they will just look down on you, merit is only bad if there are legendaries or other high rank that will take advantage of it.

Uh, I don't look down on anyone simply because they're a newbie here. When I do, it's because a person proves themselves to be an idiot, by shitposting or scamming usually. You people think you're being persecuted, that you're somehow purified by this persecution--and that ain't the case.

I'd also like to point out that it's the newbie population which is abusing the merit system the most. Not legendaries. Legendary members don't need merit points.

Look at where all my sMerits went. I didn't give them out solely to Lauda, Vod, actmyname, Hilariousandco, TMAN, DarkStar_, Joel_Jantsen, aTriz, Yahoo62278, adroitful_one, and a handful of others that I respect around here but whose names are not coming to me immediately. Most of them went to users I've never interacted with but whose posts I liked.

Of course I'm only speaking for myself, but my point is that all the merit abuse I see going on involves low-ranked accounts that are most in need of merit. Not the high-ranked members you feel you've been somehow victimized by.

today the merit is getting more and more high because people have developed very good trust about bitcoin,

Instant ignore. You have no idea how poorly written this is.
