I understand the appeal of smn burning, hell i've done it numerous time. I've pulled, I've synced, and I've been smn. I get it, it's fast exp, whoop-de-do. But, you know what's better? a merit party!
From my personal experience, I would/will spend 30 min at minimum to gather people together. Now, add another 30 min minimum for a decent pull. 2hr > 40k. Okay great job, but what if you want more then a quick 2-4 merits? Go merit.
In a good merit party (I only do good merit parties), one can yield 30+k/hr. and meriting on average for 2-3 hours at a time, will result in better total exp/merits over a stupid smn burn.
There is no waiting for someone to WIld card you, there is no waiting for a long ass pull. There is no jackass' who finds it sexually pleasurable to diaga your mobs, and there is no need to pay you puller.
Stop paying these jackass' to pull for you. You can/will get better exp from a merit party.
