I actually hated it when BCT added the merit system . I mean it will be very hard to rank up now compared to the system before wherein you just keep posting anything
Having too much freedom in posting is a pretty dumb Idea when you are in a forum, why? If you are someone wanting to buy a brand new car. You probably want to go to Junk yard(I hope that would make sense in you). There are certain rules and rules were made not for someone but for everyone's improvement.
Account selling is already there tho even before the merit system . After the merit system was intorduced , I feel like that BCT accounts are now higher in value . Merit selling is present also , but we have active members here on BCT who keeps track of those people who are involved in these kind of exchange/selling of merits.
Of course we cannot actually remove it but as long as we keep it on a very low key status then things will still go as we wanted to. Trust system tho can be used to punished proven bought accounts and who is behind it.
