Tokens used to be a symbol of dedication and hard work (if you can call gaming hard work). Now they are so plentiful that everyone is swimming in them, from dailies to the item store. Their status symbol has been eliminated. For a couple of bucks, you can save thousands of hours of playing time and just buy the tokens from the store. I didn't even pay cash (had points already magically) and I was able to buy 1000 tokens to max mine out. I feel cheated, but compelled to save time.
Oh, and say bye bye to the "token bags" market. People are selling item store token packs, which is akin to ebay credz buying, except the cash goes to Funcom. How wrong is this? Need credz? Pay Funcom some cash, then buy the token packs and sell them on the market! Instant real cash for ingame credz!
Now that everyone has waaaaaay more tokens than they need, how about introducing some more token boards? As long as we're paying cash for power, may as well make the ones with the biggest wallets the ones with the most powerful token board.
