This is... an admirable post and a fantastic way to identify your intention. If this is 'truly' your intention then I would join very quickly as I'd like to become a more efficient player with my limited play-time; which of course stems from maintaining the priorities in my life. However, I have observed/heard of an equal amount of commendation as bigotry from your linkshell which puts me in a neutral position.

I haven't been on FFXIV for too long, but when there, I've spent my time in the Rabanastre/Durandal server which was semi-random choice for me; but turned out to be a great one because of the great people I have found there (some from this LS, and some not). Members of this LS have personally helped me with in game content a few times and I have been grateful for it. Similarly I have been grateful for the aid of various strategies in order to make myself more efficient. Yet members from an LS with such prominence and with such claims of professionalism would not commit such acts as, and for example, publicly posting a denied/failed application in order to ridicule fellow gamers... as that is simply non-prominent and non-professional.

Yes: I would like to become more aware, I would like to become a more efficient player, but I do not want my characteristics as a human being to suffer as a result.

Having said that, I fully appreciate your intentions, look forward to your forthcoming contributions, and wish you well in your recruitment process.
