    Nice idea, I'd go for this and the Desynthesis of clusters also.

    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.
    I like the idea, gives and endless use for xp/merits.

    Even if it was more then a merit per seal/crest, I'd still do it.
