Dear DE, /u/rebulast, and whoever else is listening,

Please, please, for the love of all things biomechanical and only slightly gross, please could you guys make it so the Baro Invitation Message only goes out to people who have bought the Digital Tennocon Ticket? Having to answer people asking about how to get to Baro 2 Million times a day really pisses off people in the community. I say this as one of the newbies last year who didn't know what was going on.

Further, it's not like that message even gets you guys more sales of the digital ticket cos they were all sold out well in advance. The only thing it does is tell a bunch of newbies that there was something involving Baro that they missed out on. Newbies were annoyed there was something you had to pay real world money for access to without having any context of what the ticket does or what "content" it gave access to. That's not a good feeling and, IMO, it (inaccurately) portrays DE in a bad light.

So please, consider making that message Ticket-only. It'll reduce confusion and frustration for newbies and veterans alike.

Regarding 'ban', This was an issue for a very small amount of people in 2017 only. 2018 does not have this issue, nor will 2019. The digital ticket will also be available for a longer time this year so people can access it up to the event.

It's in our interest to sell Digital stuff, to be honest (it's what keeps Warframe free), so I'm not sure we'd restrict messaging especially since the pack will be available longer.
