How is there STILL not a confirmation before throwing newbs into Novice Network?

[Yurimi]

I don't disagree. But now you have the problem of it popping up everytime a mentor runs past you. And a lot of us remember the days of friend requesting gil sellers, and the flood of posts about it needing fixing. I don't see the issue with just turning the NA status off, or unchecking it in the chatlog. A person competent enough to install the game should be able to google themselves to this work-around.

To be fair the reason SE gave for not having a confirmation box was that if someone was new they may not know how to accept, if that is their expectation of a newbie I highly doubt the person would know how to /nastatus off and I actually had to help a newbie escape the horrors of a very inappropriate novice network chat because they were ready to quit (this was apperently their first MMO) and then proceeded to teach them how to use the blist function

edit: also the person upon learning what the sprout icon was wanted to keep it because they felt it was a good idea to leave an indicator as they play with controller for people to know they were the new one in group content.
