- You must have at least 10 people directly trusting you each with an earned merit of at least 10, not including merit you yourself sent.
Even if the botmaster will not be able himself to get into the DT1 list, anyway this is a good opportunity for farmers with a group of puppets. Therefore, the requirement of 10 merit might be insufficient.
I guess not, as far as I know they will only be counted if they have been sent positive feedbacks by people who are on the DT1 Lists, even if accounts does that exchanging of trust and Merits of atleast 10, they will not be easily added on the list.
