Why is it so important for you to receive Merit?
That's a good question and my honest answer is that I feel curious, pressured and envious when I'm seeing people who have less activity than me but have many merits and really makes me wonder why. Besides that, I feel that merit should be given freely to whoever people wants to give them for whatever it maybe.

Having or not having Merit or Rank will not stop you from meaningful participation on this forum. Since you are a "a self confessed and proud bounty hunter", then you want it for Sig. Campaigns. If that is the only reason you are here, you really need a life, job and a good companion animal to further your life's ambitions or lack of.
