I think he meant you have a higher chance of end of match Crucible awards if you win. And more tokens is a good thing if you're like me and really want the Iron Banner armor sets that look so damn awesome. I don't care if I have the infusion materials or not I'll be wearing that armor as soon as I get it. My power level will go down but I'll be well dressed.
This game is awesome. It just needs some tweaking to keep the grind fun. I wouldn't be surprised if a Heroic Strike playlist is in the works. It just makes sense and I'd really like a reason to grind strikes but I need something to chase after. I'm surprised there isn't strike specific armor/weps like D1 had.
