I also see your point but again it is not being removed from game, just from the start items. It can still be very easily made. Unless they tell new players what it is for though they may never know. As it just as easy for players to drop it that is also what I mean. New players are thinking, "Well if they gave it to me from the start it must be important, I should keep it"
And yes the note at beginning also is not overly helpful. I know I am not a new player and know about these things but I have been dropping the claim block and note as soon as I start a new game for a very, very long time.
