1) merits are not in most mmos, in fact, they are in 1 i can think of, just 1

2)while the idea of merits is great in order to keep content relevant and not raise a level cap, we need levl cap raises first, its a better idea for when a level cap raise is no longer a viable idea for the game because its too high already(good idea when your 99 or planning no further raises)

3) the main reason for a merit raise at that point is to be able to make stronger content that requires you to have merited without said cap raises, without having to overthrow the balance of the game(merits can make gradual increases in strength whereas a cap raise would be bigger leaps as can be seen in other games)



so yeah, too early to even consider merits
