Suggestion: Merit Points

[HakuroDK]

I think merit points could work well, if they're done intelligently. It can't give a high enough bonus that it would become a mandatory grind, but it can't be too low that it's not even worth implementing.

This is going to sound silly, but how about a Merits Vendor where you can trade in Merits for the following items, assuming it be split amongst DoW/DoM, DoH, and DoL. Like, "Militia Merits", "Artisan Merits", and "Forager Merits".

Militia Merits could buy the following, in order of price:

Aetheryte Tickets
