I like the idea, gives and endless use for xp/merits.But you created the bandwagon!
I think that regardless of how many things SE gives us to merit (even if they don't cap categories that don't need caps) we'll still eventually cap them. I suggest that to remedy this, we should be able to convert Merits to something else. Some form of currency would be nice, even if it is gil, but Beastmen's Seals or something like that would work too. Or it could work with one of the newer things they are doing like points for the daily reward system.
A few ideas of things that merit points could be transferred into (ratios subject to SE's judgement, and some items could cost more then one merit):
- Gil
- Conquest Points
- Imperial Standing
- Allied Notes
- Cruor
- Beastmen's Seals / Kindred's Seals / Kindred's Crests / High Kindred's Crests
- Dominion Notes
- Daily Reward Points
- Traverser Stones
- Ancient Beast Coins
- Ancient Currency
- Alexandrite
Of course, some of these things might not be suitable, but these are just suggestions.

It encourages you to explore the whole breadth of content rather than asking you to bumrush and bypass all the old content just so you can grind the newer content. This is a model used by other MMOs such as WoW, and while I don't have anything against people that enjoy this model, if I wanted to play an MMO with that model there are many, many games vast superior to XI in terms of mechanics and especially customer service that offer such a model.
