Tokens are unnecessary (Destiny)

Tokens can be removed from the game and not lose much functionality.

They are essentially delayed drops. You get them from activities, and when you get enough, you can redeem them for a legendary engram.

So why not cut out the middle man and just have an extra engram drop? If it takes say, doing an activity 5 times to get enough tokens for a drop, why not just have the activity drop an extra engram every 5 completions? That's essentially what is happening now.

OR

Tokens can be used to BUY SPECIFIC guns from the vendors. If you don't have a particular gun from a particular vendor, and haven't had luck via drops, then you should be able to redeem tokens for a specific item. Then they would have value.

The token system was not really thought through that much.
