If you want merits then you can easily get 3x as much in a proper merit party. Campaign is for getting a few points while not paying much attention, or while waiting for the teleport npc. "Winning" achieves nothing; it actually makes it more difficult for everyone to get xp by scattering the fights, and unless you are on in the morning US time your efforts get wiped out anyway.
No-one tells you you have to go fight in Tavnazia because not having the outpost npc there is hurting players. No-one tells you you have to merit in campaign zones because meriting in ToAU is making campaign items and outpost warps unavailable. Just leave people to play the way they want and chill out. At least if you need a warp or a tele there's always a blm/brd or whm/brd handy; just ask.
