Tokens aren't the problem, it's the rewards we get in exchange for them. The only worthwhile rewards from any non-powerful engrams are: * New armor and/or weapons * Masterworks. New armor and weapons eventually run out, once you've got everything you want. Masterworks rarely ever show up in regular engrams. Since Tokens can't be used to obtain Powerful Engrams, they're basically only useful for increasing Rank with each vendor. [b]Suggested solution:[/b] All "regular" Engram gear is at your power level, not several levels below. If all your gear is the same level, you'll get a piece that is 1 power level higher, up to the hard cap. This allows you to gain power beyons the soft cap from regular Engrams, albeit to a much lesser degree than Powerful Engrams. Furthermore, I suggest that every 10 Ranks in a vendor, the rewarded Engram be Powerful. This means that Tokens are useful in the grind to max power, and in bringing the rest of your gear to that point once you get there.
