It has 276 merits. She almost never uses it. It is not for sale, but if it was sold you would get 276 merits then maybe she would ask me to send you 50 merits. You would then have purchased 326 merits.
It's more like purchasing an account instead of merit, is there a seller sell an account by using merit as the price? maybe.
The difference is you're talk about the possibility of a seller, while I answer base on the system.
Do you work for FBI as a day job ?
Yes, I know your real name, your location and your house /s.
Seriously to be honest with you on this issue (merit buying) I think it should be looked into
I don't think some low quality posts do have merit unless the merit are being given by this same account farmers to boost the account rank to be sold out.
My question: how? we don't have any proof except someone is stupid give 50 merits on a bounty post.
There are many low quality posts that receive merits (quality isn't about how long or short the post), when someone wrote at least 2-3 paragraphs even it's only have one point, people will give merit to that post because it's long.
