What is the point of getting merits when you dont actually contribute anything to the community. I mean, admins cannot do anything about selling these because they cannot detect it with artificial intelligence.
I think the best way to get merits is to improve our posts, show some efforts, guys!!
Point is higher rank, higher rank earn more in signature campaign, point is making money.
I respect op and his post, but we can't do anything about it. Accounts are not for sale too, but its happening everyday. People who trade with accounts and merits are doing that on other place, that's why it's hard to catch them. In meta section you can find many threads about people who do that and how they do that. I'm not so active there, but from time to time I like to read what is happening, its good to be informed in this times about everything.
