Game needs a way to value planets and reward loyalists.
Enter token rewards.

Other games have token rewards besides their version of MC and CB.
LotRO has Marks, Medallions and Seals in addition to area specific currency and seasonal tokens for seasonal events.
DCUO has various Marks and seasonal tokens.
If you look around at other games, they have various forms of currency some of it being the only way to purchase items.

MWO has MC and CB. LP counts only to Faction Achievements then it becomes useless, Mech XP at least can be converted into GXP until you need no more.

This idea is to have Faction specific tokens and value planets in those tokens thus giving value to planets. At some point (after an attack phase, map reset, whatever) players who are loyalists collect tokens of their Faction based on capturing worlds, worlds fought over, whatever system is set up. Faction tokens can be used to buy Faction specific items (cockpit, camo, Mechs, possible future items only purchased with Faction tokens giving them value).

There can even be future plans to allow players on teams to have a unit coffer of tokens the unit turns in for something, perhaps even allowing the choice of what planet to attack in an attack wave.

lotsa people have said same thing, hope pgi will do this sooner rather than later, if done well with good incentives could make people join CW

Sounds awesome. PGI should be able to get to it after CW leaves beta. Plan on 3 to 4 years for implementation.
