Vendors need a rank-up system change

It’s very unsatisfying to have to turn in a bunch of tokens just to rank up a few times, with no control over what reward you get and most recently, having that reward drop 20 levels below. As Banshee is the [i]only[/i] tower vendor with exclusively Weapon drops, he’s really the only one worth grinding/ranking up for, as getting legendary armor from vendors is practically worthless now. Faction rank-ups should work on an XP system, similar to how they did in D1, ranking up in the background without you having to turn in tokens. You’d be able to collect your waiting rewards later. Tokens’ purpose could be changed, and they could then be used as a currency to buy rotating selections of specific rolled armor and weapons with the armor having a chance to have a higher stat one day than the other (similar to Xur’s inventory). If you were unhappy with the day’s selection, you could also have the option to spend your tokens on a consumable that would provide a free rank-up, like how tokens are used to rank-up now. The reward for each rank-up would change too, allowing you to choose whether it be armor or weapons, and perhaps either through normal play or with seasonal ranks you could progressively upgrade the level of your first rank-up reward for the week (Powerful Tier 1, 2, 3, then Pinnacle) and further narrow down which type of reward it is (Energy Weapon or Chest Armor, for example) thus allowing vendors to aid in Power Leveling once again though without the tediousness and monotony prior to Beyond Light. That’s just me spitballing however. My true request is that this issue is just looked at.

    If they can't even give them a simple update as they should have that they haven't in over 2 years now. What makes anyone think they will rework any of them? There is nothing wrong with giving ideas but let's be real here. Bungie doesn't care and they haven't in 4 years now. Each year that goes by the vendors have gotten worse that most of them are totally useless in this game. They don't even use them as they were originally created for, you know, Amanda Holliday, what does she do? because I remember her actually being at least somewhat useful acquiring ships/sparrows in the first game, and out in the open world you would get schematics that would drop once in a while for a new ship.
