Everyone calm down
There's been a lot of hate with the new tokens. Thought I'd clear up some stuff.
The armor the token vendor sells, IS NOT THE BEST GEAR. The best gear is crafted with Cyrogem fragments, Vial of orcsbane and the Ren'gol ancestral rune.
Secondly, Carapace has said these tokens drop from ORC CRATES. Not Ren'gol crates. These are most likely the Orc Chests the other token vendor sells, and are also most likely lootable from the elite bosses, and I'm assuming the Ren'gol locks drop from both elite and non elite expansion maps. However, I see Ren'gol locks as a plus, because the F2P player base can farm them and sell them for around 20k maybe more. The best gear is crafted with the ingredients mentioned above. Even if these tokens actually drop from a Locked Crate, you can't get the best gear with it, just the best pets it seems. Nevertheless the best armor is craftable which is awesome.
Remember this is a TEST server, made to gather feedback on people's opinions about the expansion, and all the numbers are approximations. Anything is subject to change.
My Review (SPOILERS)
After playing through the maps, I can say the game looks great, but visuals aren't everything that makes a game right? The gameplay is fluid, considering we can only run the normal maps, the difficulty is like past expansions at first maybe a little harder, which is good. Picturing myself in elite, I'm positive tanks will be needed. The shaman mob applies a shield to all enemies in range, and this shield absorbs alot of damage and seems to not break unless the shaman is killed. I think the devs pictured it as the warrior and mage controlling the mobs, while the rogue gets rid of the shaman ASAP. The brute also buffs other mobs, same scenario applied here I imagine.
The maps are HUGE, no longer 1 minute walks. Which is a nice twist and makes the maps more challenging. The reward hopefully equals out. Overall I'd say STS has done a good job, and its WAY to soon to start threatening to quit over these tokens. We have no confirmed information on them apart from the fact they drop from Orc Crates, and it a test server after all.
