Do you know what's an even bigger joke? The fact that literally thousands of people are coming here to a forum about something they have little to no knowledge or interest in other than they heard you can earn easy money here. It's like signing up to a Lamborghini forum when you can't drive and don't even like cars. Why would anyone do that? Well, they sign up here to get paid of course and this is the only reason you're bothered about merit. Merit doesn't stop you from browsing or even posting here, but obviously you want to maximise profits as fast as possible and this is the entire issue in the first place because people sign up with dozens of accounts each just to farm accounts by spamming and bleed bounties for all they're worth. This is why merit was introduced and users are now rewarded for their quality contributions instead of rewarding the spam they could be bothered to make.
Usually it isn't. I reckon most people who try sell merit are just scammers trying to fleece the naive and desperate, though of course there will be genuine sales by people looking to fill a gap in the market but the community usually leaves them appropriate feedback. There's nothing stopping you from doing this as well if you disagree with it.
1) Merit is limited so they will run out of it very quickly. 2) People who get caught meriting their alts or "friends" usually get negative feedback. If you want to run the risk of having your accounts ruined all for the sake of a few merit points then you're playing with fire and dicing with death. 3). Make quality posts and you may one day receive enough merit to become a Member. You only need ten for that.
You can't complain about greed when you only want a higher level account so you can in fact be like them and earn more. People who merely have a Hero account aren't the elite 1%. They're usually merely just people who've been here a lot longer and maybe you could say they earned their right for their rank.

Edit: I just went through your posts. They're not bad, but you're probably not going to get merit in mega threads where people are just saying the same thing over and over. I gave you a merit to help you on your way. Keep putting effort into your posts and you'll likely get some more but this shouldn't be expected.
I see alot of people selling there merrit to whoever wants it, is this even legit?

It means people with multiple accounts can dominate bitcointalk, earn the most bounty rewards( multiple with more accounts) and can give merrit out to themselves and can get alot of bounty stakes, while other who do there best arent even able to join because they cant reach member status!

Even more annoying is the fact that members and above( not all of you ) just post crappy posts all over the place, and keep spamming away with no consequences. Its just sick, like in the real world, the rich get richer, its insane do something about it.
