It has been a fair bit of time since I've bothered making a thread, but as I haven't seen discussion on this, I wanted to see if I've been missing something.
Today I finally beat the new 'raid.' A Grenade Launcher at the end was neato I suppose, but the fact remains for the rest of the raid the primary reward consisted of tokens. This goes for my team as well.
Now, I know I'm not alone in the thought that tokens are far less satisfying than an item drop and are very demotivating to receive. Yet that isn't what concerns me. What concerns me is that despite the fact that essentially the only reward I got for this new raid was a set of tokens, those tokens can't even be redeemed for drops from that raid!
Tokens given to Benedict only give out OG Leviathan loot. So not only are we not getting loot drops, but we also can't use the tokens we got to GET new loot drops. Now, we 'tested' this not only through none of us getting new gear via tokens, but also through inspecting the Engrams. Inspecting the engrams allows you to see potential rewards. Only old raid content can be seen.
So if I am mistaken in some way, someone please educate me on this matter. If it has already been acknowledged as an issue, that would be good knowledge as well. But if neither... well, please share in my displeasure so that I know I'm not alone in thinking that this is seriously misguided.
Thank you.

I completely agree. You are left at the mercy of the chest drops for armor. Good luck. I also only got the useless grenade launcher and tokens last raid
