Applications Vs Registrations

[Dargoth_Draconia]

Let me guess, some shell declined your app and now you are mad?

Applications are a way for shells to pre-emptively weed out people they don't think will fit into their community.

Rather than "invite everyone" mentality, some of us prefer to weed people out before they are an issue.

There are far better ways to weed out people Doc. Applications are not win/win they are win/lose. Win for the people who wants people to do it lose for the members who don't want to waste their time filling out a mock application so "Player A's" E-peen can get a little bit bigger for each application someone fills out to be in his/her said LS. A lot of people still just want to log in and play the game not sign up on a some stupid website and put in an application to join a guild/LS/Social group. Unfortunately this is how it is because players are too lazy to test people out individually or in a group to assess their skills and what not, they rather perform a ritual and flex their power by deeming someone worthy or not worthy to join.
