Absolutely agree, there isn’t a need for more Merit sources. It seems to me that the people here advocating for more Merit sources are low ranked, low quality posters desperate for more Merit which would enable them to rank up and earn money from signature campaigns.

Maybe if they make a bit more effort to be a helpful member of the forum and make clear, concise, constructive posts they will get what they want (more Merits) to rank up and all of a sudden it’ll be clear that more Merit sources aren‘t required and better posting is what’s required.

Receiving lots of Merits should be hard to achieve, that’s the whole point, to encourage good posting and constructive posting habits. If theymos was to vastly increase the number of Merit sources it’s likely it’d be easier to receive Merit which cheapens it and means it’s easier to receive. The forum would be full of spam and low quality posts. Nothing good in life ever comes easily, try harder.
