Upvote if you hate tokens

  • I don’t mind tokens. Nothing’s really changed, it’s just perception

    • Tokens are essentially pretty much the equivalent of D1’s reputation levelling system. In this case, your reputation isn’t automatically levelled up; you need to cash in the tokens. So mechanically, D1’s vendor reputation system and D2’s token system are one and the same, with both systems offering the same if not sometimes more actual rewards upon cashing in tokens - the difference between both systems being merely one of perception. Furthermore, the token system gives you more flexibility compared to the old system when using 2 or more characters Now, I’m not saying Bungie won’t perhaps make changes - I’d increase the number of token drops in certain activities - and Bungie might even make more drastic changes purely to appease certain players, but ultimately the token system, as I said, isn’t really much different to the old reputation system and, in some ways, is better The biggest problem isn’t the actual token system, but the quality of the rewards

    • It doesn't really bother me at all. I played destiny for the PvP and playing with friends. I never played it for loot.

          I wouldn't mind token, as it's basically the same thing as repping up with just an extra step. The problem is the repeat items that end up being shard fodder.

          • Tokens are fun. It just shouldn’t be the primary way of getting loot

                I hate the 'token in a slot machine' analogy. That's the EXACT SAME WAY reputation worked in the last game. The problem isn't the tokens. The problem is the gear is all bland and there's nothing to grind for. As for vendors selling their gear, that would only work if there was random rolls, OR it was a limited time event (like how iron banner in season 2 will let you buy gear directly with tokens)

                    • Things really are burning down this time. Not even seen 1 person try and defend Bungie yet. They must have pissed off even the most dedicated off fans.

                      • [quote]Upvote if you hate tokens[/quote] [b]Meh... [/b]I could personally take or leave the tokens. It's just a delivery mechanism. Some of the tokens are definitely ridiculous (raid tokens!?!?), but overall, not a big deal to me. However, I do think the loot table/system [u]is[/u] an issue. The loot table is too small. Lacks interesting items. Lacks variety. And, then there are the constant: Duplicates. Duplicates. Duplicates. [spoiler][i]Please stop giving me Bad News and Disrespectful Stare over and over and over...[/i][/spoiler] [quote]I missed it when you ranked up with rep and vendors actually sold things :([/quote] [b]Big upvote. [/b]As someone else said recently: We don't have vendors. We have a bunch of cryptarchs. Regardless if we keep tokens, we need to be able to buy specific items that are on a rotation.

                        • The issue isn't the currency but the economy! Get rid of tokens and you still got a shit loot economy. Fix the loot economy and keep the tokens and we're golden.
