Being alone has nothing to do why you can't receive any Merits. What do you think of me? I already got 40 Merits and do you think that I get it from my friends? Well, its NO. I have no friends to give me Merits and if there are, I will not doing to ask them for Merit.

With just diligence + effort + knowledge. You will be rewarded.

As you can see, you don't need to have friends just to get Merits, in order to get one (or even more), you just need to improve your posts and make it more valuable, make it constructive until it become a "Good Quality Posts". This is where other members will be interested to your posts and your posts will have a higher chance of possibility to be Merited. See? There's no need for friends, you will only end up abusing Merits if you were caught asking/begging Merits to people you knew. You will only receive a reward of Negative trust if you do so.

Come one buddy, It's really hard to earn Merits but with a little hard work, it's not impossible for you to achieve your desired rank. Just like nullius, iasenko athan (I forgot the name) and other Members who ranked up because of making Good Posts.


But I do agree to the part where, Merit really is so unfair.
Sir theymos stated that
but this is usually what happens. People give away their Merits for just something that they agreed.
For example:




(No offense to the owner of the post which is Mr. *******. I just used it as an example)
Can you imagine it? Are these examples really need to be Merited? Wake up guys.
These posts doesn't deserve any Merit but because of some people agreed with it, it received Merits. While there are lot of Good Quality Post out there seeking for Merit but what? They can't even receive one. Unfair isn't?

That's why I agreed that Merit is a little unfair, usually to those members whose posts are always being ignored by other Members.
