1. In D1 we used 3 "coins" (glimmer, strange coins and those legend emblems or whatever) to buy weapons, armor and items but it wasnt enought for bungo a specific coin was made for every planet and event then it was too much so the dev kids decided to go back to 3 (glimmer, leg shards and tokens) wich is a stupid experiment. 2. Some events like IB condicionate the token drops to specific activities forcing you to do those matchs losing time for other activities unlike legendary shards that you can earn in all activities in bigger amounts per time than tokens) 3. In D1 reach levels was enought to buy as many weapons as you could in IB but if for any reason in D2 you dismantle a weapon or armor dont look for the vendor go back to crucible an waste a lot of time earning more tokens. 4. Legendary emblems/shards or whatever can be saved but tokens are lost after the end of the event (or it is the goal I left D2 before the dawning and it was the announce)
