Re: Was the forum better before without Merit or is it better now with Merit?
Members, reputable members. Was it better before back then when this forum was without merits or is it better or even much better now with merits? Please explain your answer so users like me can get an idea how it was and what you prefer. 
I voted better with merits now, with merits we will know who is serious about contributing and being an active member of the forum, it weeds out spammers and more farm accounts, there are members of this forum that only post here for bounty without contributing to the forum, if there is no merit we will see legendaries with no contribution but bounty reports and this is not good for the activity and reputation of the forum.
With merits, it stopped creating high-rank members with no contribution.
