What if theymos will increase the merit requirement?
Bounty camps will be shut down > which will lead to increased unemployment rates > street riots and government takeover > occasional mass suicides in Southeast Asia. The events of 17th September 2018 will be nothing compared to what will happen if you require 5/10 merits to rank up. Bounty warriors will set META on fire and burn it to the ground.
