Please reduce the number of currencies in the game.
At this point, many of them are absolutely useless. Actually, there should only be three currencies in game at a minimum: Global, Questionite, and Zen. Nothing else is actually needed.
The sheer number of currencies in the game actually requires a constant flow of new content something Champions rarely gets.
Global = will be the currency for players to exchange and purchase from AH.
Questionite = should be the currency to purchase items from the vendors.
Zen = will be the currency to purchase from the Z-Store.

Acclaim
Snakenucks
UNTIL and UNITY Tokens
MCPD, Primus, UNTIL, and Silver Rec
Nemesis Tokens
Quistionite Ore, Questionite
Drifter Salvage
All 4 different Rampage tokens
I might be missing one or two.
Snakebucks, nemtokens and technically Keys are a currency as well.
I agree that the currencies are a tad too many... especially since they aren't account combined.
The rec stuff/snakebucks should just be unlocks that you can obtain once you've reached a certain rep level, over a currency. This should be especially true for the costume unlocks and travel powers for the different types. As far as gear/healing/mods, make them unlock at various levels for a purchase price using G.

Yeah some things are broken... no I don't use/abuse them.. where would be the fun in that?
Honestly, most of this junk is barely a "currency." It's something that sits on a lil line in your currency tabs(unless it's those justice tokens) that people use to get stuff from "this one guy I know."
Honestly, I feel there are monumentally larger fish to tackle than this. Also, when/if the Campaign Zone shows up...expect more currencies. Somewhere in the ballpark of 1(most STO CZs) to 4(NW's Feywild).
IMO, so long as it's on the currency tab and we don't make a big habit out of the Justice tokens practice....no big deal.

Yeah it should be questonium, a faux questionite substitute scraped from the front inside of caliga's helmet after a long day of zone shouting.

In some cases, especially concerning PRIMUS/UNTIL/Silver Champion/Drifter tokens, it basically serves as a necessary way to tier prizes, or to just tie them to certain areas (snakebucks, which are literally the most pointless 'currency' ever. Also the oldest as it turns out.) When it comes down to it, the three ones that really make much difference as an actual currency are Resources, Questionite, and Zen. I'm totally not up for more currency types for the heck of it, but in some cases, such as encouraging players to actually go through weird rampages, adding prizes/tokens exclusive to the said event is a way of doing it.
The flipside, however, is that it's also very touchy and difficult to remove currency. How are people with a bunch of said hypothetically-dropped currency going to be compensated?

This actually highlights a very important fact about the different currencies and how they could be used to influence players to go and start using some of that content that's just sitting out there unused. Perhaps each Lair needs its own currency?

I would love to be able to throw my tokens into my shared bank account or sell them on the AH. That's a great idea.
If unity, mcpd, snakebucks, acclaim, locals, nationals, or primus rec disappeared, I wouldn't even notice since they are all so worthless. At least nationals and locals magically turn into globals.

I don't think we have piles of it, I think it's more like credit. AKA we are credited this much that we can have, and who knows what the measurement is in. Maybe grains.

If I've already bought all of the Travel Powers and costumes and such from the vendors, do I really need to keep using any more? No. So it all keeps adding up.
Frankly, I think there should be more items available in some vendors, like the old craftable costume parts or Power Replacers, ones that can have mod slots if possible, to keep them useful with the new-ish system.

How about if you could spend MCPD tokens on level 17 gear with bonus to your super stats, not fixed gear specific stats that you could take with you through Canada, where you can by gear to take back to MC and so on. It wouldn't be terribly useful to players with account bound, level adjusting gear. But not everyone has mountains of Q or opportunity to gather lots of Nem tokens.
