It is generally account farmers and bounty chasers that complain about the merit system. They are the only ones disadvantaged by it.
Let it be known to you that the "farmers of accounts" do not need merits for nothing.
What can not be said about informers and other rascals.
Perhaps you can explain that in further detail. This will be interesting.
Account farmers don't need merit to rank up their accounts so they can sell it for more ? So they can use those accounts in bounty and signature campaigns ?
What do the "rascals" and "informers" need the merits for ?
Ordinary sellers act as intermediaries. Farmers, those who create their own accounts, it is easier to buy merit. theymos, in fact, created an additional black market in order to sell merits.
Informers are looking for potential sellers or buyers, in the hope of receiving merits. That is, they do not bring any objective benefit.
