This is exactly how I feel, and I couldn't have said it better. While it makes sense to apply for some 'shells, it's so much more rewarding (to me) to develop an IC relationship with them. And even if an application still applies, I'd still prefer for a member to go "Hey.. you know if you apply, you could probably join us more!" because my character has gotten to be good friends with his, or someone having an IC recruitment drive of some kind, or finding out about it some other way in game.
I guess my point is that this is why I haven't really looked into anywhere to join. It's not that I don't want to join anyone, it just doesn't feel right to do so yet. And I'm all about feelin' right.
