In the beginning was wondering when I would collect 90 to rank up to Full member, it looked that it would take half an year. Now a bit more than half an year later I have enough to rank up to Hero, but lacking activity and have to wait to February.
Who said it's difficult to get merit??
If it was so easy to get merit, theymos wouldnt have had to add 36 new merit sources.
You are one of the top posters, dont take whats exceptional as the norm. Nullius could have said that it is easy to get 1000 merits in six months.
For most responsible users of the forum, getting
some merit is easy, but getting enough to rank up according to activity is not. Thats why most people thought merit sources needed to be added and theymos listened.
