Auras NEED to be released in another form, instead of just from alerts. I just started a new account a few weeks ago for fun to see what it takes to get up to par, and I'm now mastery rank 5 without a single aura because the alerts never happen when I'm online.

This is a huge problem for new players. For such a crucial part of Warframe builds and power, it is impossible to actually get an aura mod (let alone a useful one) if you aren't online 24/7. Seriously, could we at least get a random aura awarded for each mastery rank test or something? Sure, I could trade for one, but that doesn't excuse the imbalance of supply, and I sure as hell shouldn't have to trade for a basic necessity. How DE hasn't changed this is beyond me.

TL;DR: Remember what new players have to go through that you don't. I've had aura mods since they were "artifacts" in closed beta, and it never occurred to me that such a thing would have been a problem now. Walk a mile in another Tenno's shoes... or space boots.
