The whole thread is about the misuse and abuse of the 'soldiery notification' at the start of raids, trials and dungeons.
    Most players do not state they are new, more often than not you only know their is a player new to a duty because of that message. Using the soldiery notification is a necessary evil because those without clears or even no experience of the fight still think they are able to join any PF party they want to, irregardless of the posted requirements to join.

    No notification? Players without clears can lie their way into a clear party and potentially waste everyone elses time. Keeping the notification prevents that. IF people didn't lie their way in, it wouldn't be needed. But they do, so it is.

    Taking it to the DF, if a bonus sold pops up I know someone is new and can explain strats, if no message pops then no one is and can just start the run. Without that message I wouldn't know as in most cases hardly anyone states it is their first time.
