Isn't it so unfair for the people who is new here? That will be struggling making such as good quality post so they could be given a merit by someone. I know all of you is having a hard time thinking what are you going to post such as good quality.
I don't think so dude, everything is
all fair in my perspective. Whether you are a Legendary or a Newbie, we all started from zero right? Then how come that it's unfair for you?
It is really hard to have a merit it is because as far as I know:
People are selfish. Even though you post a really good quality post still there is a people who won't give you a merit.
Some are alone. Like me, I don't really have much friend who would give me a free merit. I know that it is easy to have a merit with a friend that have an account of bitcointalk.
At the first one, you are right somehow but think it's only a little bit harsh to use "selfish". I deeply understand if some of the others doesn't give you (or even me) a merit because maybe they want more from your answer or maybe they they can't fully perceived what you meant.
At the second one, let me tell you this. You don't need to have lots of friends who are also members of this forum in order to rank up because if you really know to yourself that you are a good quality poster then there's nothing to worry about. Just continue your good posting habits and wait for them to award you.
