Op, your question though is valid but appears artificial to me. You have been in the forum since January. So, I refuse to believe that you are aware that a user requires 120 activities to rank up to full member and yet not aware that the user also requires 100 merits.

While some people are advising you not to farm merits, I am yet to understand what merit farming is and how it is done.
Is it by creating alt accounts? If yes, that is account farming. Also, how will creating more accounts accumulate merits to the existing account?
