this is just my opinion, since theymos announce new rules about merit for jr.member,when i look at meta board don't you feel that meta is full of newbies, or it's just my feeling, and we all know what they want, well at least they try to make quality posts.
but how long will it last? in my opinion after they get merit things will return to the way they were before or maybe even worse. Some will stop and some will take easy rarities.
because there are some people who want merit instantly so they buy merit on someone, and of course they will work harder (more crazy spam) because they have already spent money on it.
so I think it's only a matter of time, what do you think?
