Thanks for taking the time to make this reply. I am a fan of IDs for uncontested pushes with newer attendants so I always cringe when people inevitably complain about it everytime it appears..like..calm down. :/

I think honestly the reason it draws so many complaints is for two separate reasons from two groups.
1) For more experienced attendants, it really sucks to get slowed down. Many of these attendants may just not think about newbie attendants (I never did until I started talking to more dom heads and getting a broader perspective than just my own), and so especially if it's not announced that that's the reason in-flight, it can be frustrating. One of the things I was very fond of in Water(? may have been Nature instead, but I think it was Water) was that they held "training raffles" occasionally, where experienced attendants were encouraged to let newbies take the helm and get practice, and there was a lot more guidance during those weeks in general.
2) For people sending to the raffles, new attendants + slower recording methods is a recipe for sometimes running into VERY slow delays, like the anon above who had sent a singular dragon and was (is?) waiting for over an hour. When ID recording is visible, that gives an easy outlet for finger-pointing, much easier than deducting whether someone's new to attending or not.
