Yes guardians were able to farm lost sectors for tokens - the exploit favored solo runs because you could keep all the tokens for yourself instead of sharing with your fireteam Did solo players or fire teams ask bungie to change this? No Did bungie take away your incentive to run lost sectors solo to farm faction tokens? Yes Can you still loot lost sectors for tokens? Yes, you're just not going to get the 12 tokens (or whatever the amount was) per run Key difference is you and your fire team will equally share the tokens Is this a change the community asked for? No. But it was an exploit that de emphasized fire teams and bungie made a change to improve the experience - did they sprinkle some sugar on it? Loads, lol! Basically all exploits will eventually be fixed- it Is what it is
