I agree with you that the Wild ID is simply better, yeah. The recruitment process should sieve out people who'd intentionally go out of their way to ruin people's fun — I agree with you there —, but it doesn't do that, from what I have seen at least in Das Wilde, since people are not judging your qualities as a roleplayer (which is what should matter here) but rather whether you have once stepped on their little sand castle at some point, or worse, because "He's already in another Wild faction" or "The Wild are not supposed to take anyone" as if that's a valid reason to gate off a roleplay avenue to people. Just want you to understand my point here when I say the process is broken for Das Wilde.
I've tried to join Wilde at some point, and I suppose I've been denied as I've never been contacted for it again. Is this because I'm Aoi Iseijin as well? If you don't feel comfortable with replying, feel free not to though.
I'd like to admit that Aoi has a less biased (but still biased) recruitment method, or else I wouldn't have gotten in. I wrote my app, flied around and had people from Aoi, on various characters including Wild, put my roleplay to the test. I had no reputation whatsoever then, and was probably seen as a "complete newbie" or similar. It hasn't stopped me from joining the faction as the members who vote a player in had the chance to get a taste of how someone roleplays and if it's good enough to roleplay an infectee.
Then again, I don't really think there should be a Wild ID for public use. There's 3 factions, all with their own methods and preferred players. Granted, I don't know what's going on in the other two, but I imagine you'll be able to find your place amongst one of them if you're a decent roleplayer. A public Wild ID would completely nullify any use of dedicating a character, via roleplay, to become an infectee directly. It'd make people even more skeptical about Wild itself as random indies will start making them, doing unacceptable "meme" roleplay or just outright using the terrorist ID rules to just find fights.
It should take effort to have the unlocked opt-in for one of the most difficult roleplaying options.

I don't know if you're just listening to whiner circlejerks, but I don't remember you trying to apply and figuring it out yourself. My experience dictates the opposite.
