Thank you zentdex for another brilliant topic. Merit circulation continues to decrease, this is worrisome for people wanting to rank up. For me, this is the indication of bar raised too high. See how few are struggling to get Sr. Member rank. Most of the crowd are stuck on the road to Full Member. If the goal is to prevent keep as few as possible to reach high ranks, merit system doing its job pretty well. It cut the amount of account farming though, which is the good thing.
Looking at the Merit Sent Moving Average, it almost decreases 1% every day. It would take an estimate of 252 Days before the average merit sent per day go below 100.
This quote is alarming. It's like when data scientist (zentdex) is telling to CEO(theymos) that something goes terribly wrong.
