Indirectly "sMerit" is given to the person who plays a role behind an account. If it is sold then the account changes character because of owner change. And it will be different sMerit to get, the new owner can get faster sMerit because more qualified or otherwise never again get sMerit.
but i've seen that there is someone who gives merit to those who make bad posts, they give so much "merit" just by they have a higher rank, i see that i'm envious, why do other people give merit so easily .
