In conclusion I do not think that we need to worry too much about QS trying to sell merits, it being such a petty scam, where merit is so transparent, and Theymos has the ability to stop it immediately and reverse it at any time.
I'm more concerned about him propping up his army of alts with his free source merits and using those to stuff DT ballots. He's well known for
attempting to get into DT in roundabout ways and still has that unhealthy obsession with the "positions of power" as he calls them.
If theymos wants to expand the list of merit sources I think there are better candidates to choose from.
