One of the inherent problems with the internet... sarcasm doesn't transfer well.
Everything you wanted to know about merits... but were afraid to ask.
This will give you the lowdown and fill you in on what gives you what rewards.
Story Arcs, trials, TFs and GMs...
Those can all give you Reward Merits.
Hope that helps!

You should really consider what you want to do with your character. You don't really need hamis, or even the more expensive stuff, to make a pretty badass DM/Inv scrapper.
Actin's first build did not include a lot of the good stuff up there. With a build that had a proper travel power, used Air Superiority as part of the attack chain, and didn't even have Hasten, she completed the RWZ challenge under a Pylon, and a 2-spawn challenge with five +4 bosses. Posting the build was for two purposes:
- Satisfy the curiosity of the build used to take several AVs at once.
- Give you ideas of things to consider when building your own. These include:
<ul type="square"> [*] Consider the benefits of Kinetic Combat, which isn't hard to get nowadays, specially if you use tickets from AE.[*]Balance between Reactive Armor and Aegis on your resistance powers.[*]Eradication, Basilisk's Gaze, these are "new" sets that some people don't really consider, but are very suited for your character.[*]How high to aim for defenses and resistances. With Tough you have 70% S/L resist. Add in a lot of S/L defense and you will have massive, MASSIVE overkill in the S/L department (so much that it'll allow you to take on several AVs at once). Consider, do you really need that, or should you bolster your defenses in other areas?[/list]
And so forth. Consider it a build to get ideas from, not so much a guide to build your character. And remember, unless they're Psi, very few things that the game usually throws at you will be a great challenge on a 1-on-1 situation once you've finished a reasonably sturdy build, even without maximized protection against them. And for masses of enemies, there's Invincibility (play with the bar to see just how high things can go with several enemies around you).

Love my DM/Inv. Absolutely love it.
Only Scrapper I have ever taken Confront on, and now regularly use it for lead tanking on an ITF.
Shes also succesfully soloed more than a few AVs, (no temps, no insps, & all)
So yeah, love it, there maybe better sets for sheer damage output (the pylon solo time is abysmal) but for survivability, it's unmatched.
Anyway, will offer up my build, but sure it can be improved upon -->
