It's so hars to earn merits now. I already have 140+ activities but still I haven't earn merit. Not a single one. Old accounts are so lucky to have been promoted for only by the number of their activities. What do you guys think I should do to have merit?

Merit begging= ignored list of many.
This is the formula you should never forget.
Now, in order to follow my therapist's advice, I will answer politely to you. Look man, the merit system was implemented with the only goal of stopping shitposters to rank-up. Given your post history, no offense, but you are a shitposter, so the only way of earning some merits to you is to change your mindset. Be prepared, for it is going to take a while.
- First of all you will need to read a lot, to follow some threads with information and discussion in here, to understand the mindset of the people in here, their worries, etc.
- Second, you will need to read a lot, topics related to this thing you are more interested in, I mean, If you, for instance, are interested in mining, that's nice, learn all that you can about mining.
- Third of all, you will need to read a lot, the forum rules are your new sacred book.
- Fourth, you can write, but only if you feel you have something substantial to add and you are contributing. Do not forget to read the whole thread before answering, to read the quotes, if you want to participate in any conversation, then you will need to listen to others first.
- Fifth, build your own identity. Discuss and think with education.

As in any society, if you want others to recognize you (and since you're asking about merits, to give you something), first you need to give something: knowledge, contribution, patience, good argument opinions... You will need first to become a part of this society, so be smart and observe it first.
