Instead of applications, you can speak to them online and get to know them. Asking questions online is no different than an applications. In my opinion, describing your self and answering questions for LS masters only makes the masters life easier to bring members in, where as the applicant does more work.

No thank you.

Then you should not join a LS that enforces people to do events, and would most likely be rejected when applying exactly because you wouldn't fit within that criteria, instead of first joining the linkshell and occupying a spot on a game that has no decent linkshell management options to kick you once the linkshell leader notice that you barely attend to events at all.

Saves your time (since you would join a linkshell that doesn't fit your own play style) AND saves the linkshell officers time for the exact same reason.

There's a good justification for applications right there ~
