There are also merit sources receiving only 10 sMerits per month, which isn't exactly helping to solve the problem.
I don't know who are you talking about. I would appreciate you if there was a statement.
I think that applies to the newest group of Merit sources that didn't apply explicitly for that task.
Me, for example.If there are merit sources with 10/months and the average is 185, then they are very unevenly distributed.
However, currently,
There are 119 merit sources with a total merit generation of up to 22045 sMerit per 30 days
The avg is- 185 although it depends on spending sMerits. I think most of the merit sources are active and they are spending their sMerits regularly.
That means that if all merit sources were spending all their sMerits we would stand at about 5000 per week. 5000 more are the merits that could be achieved - in theory - if all those that have received sMerits would spend them in the same month.
So 10.000 per week currently is the absolute maximum. I guess it's simply not possible to achieve an amount of significantly more than approximately 2/3 of that value, or 6000-7000 per week. There are always people that don't understand the merit system fully, are too lazy to give merits, do not care about them at all, do have received an uneven number - or go inactive. The last possibility can apply also to merit sources.
So if we want to get back to 10000/week we would need merit sources generating at least 30-40K per month.
