let me copy past someting from a native english/american guy who explained it well. The problem I have with tokens is they have completely replaced the Reputation system and Post Game Carnage Report loot drops. Activities no longer directly reward you with actual, meaningful gear, with exception to the raid, and it cheapens the experience. I would like the post game carnage report loot drops brought back along with the old reputation system where you earn reputation for your activity completions, maybe even bit more for doing well. Reward packages should drop for each increase in reputation level. They can keep the tokens, but use them as dedicated currency to directly purchase gear from the vendor (like strange coins for Xur in D1), with increased tiers of gear unlocking with your increased reputation rank. Tokens can be earned as activity rewards, found in reputation packages, dismantling the event-specific gear (i.e. Iron Banner) or directly purchased with Legendary Shards.
