He meant that if anyone is having problems in getting in Apoc they should ask ex TF how they did it, Apoc (in general) mass recruited ex TF which was the reason AA left RKN before....
Actually legion mass recruited/merged in TF|I. Apoc has acquired a few of their better players over the subsequent time but most have been put to the sword.
AA did, of course, protest every step of the way. AA, though an accomplished player, is not a leader of Apoc i.e. he doesn't (and will not) make the recruiting decisions.
AA's objections were down to historical animosity. The leadership's decisions are more pragmatic: We are playing this game to win and sometimes that means making unpopular decisions that the membership do not like.
While AA continues to rail against my decisions then I'm confident I'm doing something right ;-) [Kidding!]
