That's something we're trying to avoid. People simply are not applying because they assume that they won't make it in, which is a big problem.
We want to make it easier to actually get into the faction, while at the same time not compromising our high standards. So although you might make it in as a MIL, you're not completely safe. We're hoping this system will give newbies and people who are unsure a chance to prove themselves through their actions, rather than through their forum RP.
