I know why you did it, it was a good idea, but as is clear from the numerous threads here and elsewhere this is being abused by many jerks, usually tanks, and is rapidly making this game a game for the elitist jerks only.
This needs to go.

I'm not sure I agree or disagree. I really like the bonus while leveling but I hate to hear that the notice is being used for evil.
:/
i agree. i have seen too many tanks splitting because of that message. what sucks is they get a 15 min time out while DDs get to cross their fingers hoping someone will show or they will have a 30-45 min penalty.
Imo DPS should be the only ones that get the 15 minute punishment time, tank/heals should get 30min+ due to insta queues :S
It should stay, it was never a problem for the first few weeks - Now that people are farming dungeons for vanity gear and tomes it's a problem - That's not a problem with the message, it's a problem with the playerbase. We can't start removing perfectly fine features to coddle elitist players.
I have never see anybody quit because of the first time bonus.
They do stay for the bonus, it is correct no one want to leave for that. But when you they reach 50 and grind for Tombs, or for drop in Level 50 Dungeon that message mean they leave and reque because they don't want to dealt with noobs.
I have a 41 paladin and a 20 archer, 15 pug and 36 whm, I would never do this.. I enjoy taking people through the dungeons with my pally..
IF however, they insist that they are in a HUGE hurry, with the gogogogo speach. I leave. Right then and there. 15 minutes by your self are a gift compared to to 90 with cretins.
I do only pugs, i don't get a chance to play that much and I take it when I can.
So I get a lot of dps wanting to run in and aggro, I let them. Then I get the crap tank speech.
If tanking or healing were so Great in this game, WE WOULD ALL be healers and tanks.
Yoshi, put too much on the healers and tanks, DPS should get aggro LOTS of it so that it forces them to Focus..That would be divine justice.
As a tank myself, I don't pay attention to chat and auto assume that at least somebody hasn't been there. I don't care, it's my job to be a tank. I actually hate the impatient archers even more. The ones that offload the second I hit tomahawk and generate more threat then me and don't slow down or wait at all. Those people I'll gladly let die.
I like having the indicator because a lot of the time people will not say so themselves. As a tank I couldn't care less if you're new or pro at a dungeon. I am more than happy to explain things and get stuff done correctly and quickly.
Considering that most bosses consist of the same basic strategy; don't stand in crap, kill adds... It should be a non issue for most people.
Remember, you're unique... just like everyone else.
