    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.
    Necessary evil? What a load of bullshit, the is no way in hell that it is 'necessary' in any sense of that word. You are no worse off without it as you was before that pop up notification was introduced and people started misusing it. It is not needed at all, whether someone is new, someone has clears or someone has the link for achievement or item they all often can cause wipes and fails regardless of which category they fall into. Just like before if they fail you have the ability to kick someone hence why people say kill/fail=kick in PF. You have given no good reason as to why it should remain as it is and continue being abused and misused. You also continue just like every narrow minded and naive person who focuses only on the PF aspect to take into account that is just one reason out of many as to why it should be removed.

    It would not have a negative effect if was removed and your really grasping for straws using that excuse. People can and do often tell someone they are new and when they don't if they die or do something wrong you advise them how to do it right just like people have always done. Only with it gone you will not have people fishing for soldiery bonus only runs and you will not have it being used as an excuse to ditch and abandon groups so those people can continue fishing. Losing that heads up notification at start of a run which people are using to decide whether they want to continue trying to run it normally or whether they ditch and fish for another would merely stop the abuse of it which hurts everyone else in the group who are actually there for the right reason which is progression or trying to get a clear.
