You aren't going to see something like this until after the level cap increase. FFXI had merits but only after the level cap was raised and set statically at 75. They'll bump the cap with the expansion and if that will be the cap for a while THEN you may see something like this happen. Level 50 is already going to be an annoying plateau for people on the way to the new level cap without some kind of merit system as well. Plus this can also breed a "you don't have x ability or have y ability enhanced? *kick*" situation that was not uncommon in FFXI.
