I accept the suggestion of being more humble.
Its easy to brag yourself with a lot of hubris when you succeed in hoarding in a lot of merits and topping various merit-related statistics on the forum.
Please allow me to be a little over the lines only in this thread.
Yes, lots of merits come from WO, but I dont think they are lower quality one.
Also i think I wave enough merits earned on high-quality threads.
Example: last 60ish merits are earned on a long post about futures.
I think that work more than compensate a few merits on train related merits on WO.
EDIT:
Doing some number fuckery with LoyceV data and some manual counting:
At the time of writing:
I have 1233 Merits.
I earned 351 merits in the WO thread.
28,50% of the total merits gained on WO.
So I earned 882 Merits Outside WO thread.
Almost legendary merit-wise outside WO.
Legendary outside WO: challenge accepted.
I guess everyone has his merit- related Stigma:
Legendary outside WO.
Legendary outside Meta.
Wondering how to make everyone happy.
I can't, probably.
