New people are confused about the notification that there are applicants to raids. (As if they don’t see it) - allow “all” to join a raid initially and then remember permission settings. Lots of “old” 799 or now “99” players have difficulties solo last raid to get over the hump and… well, 9/10 times people don’t see or understand new applicants or see the color difference between pm and raid msgs (that could also differ a little better).
