I just don’t get it…
If you’re a new player, you get a rookie event pack that helps you a ton at the beginning (and IIRC there’s already an event token inside). And if you visit Leticia once you reach Klaipeda, you also get a 7 day token. Invest a bit of time (1-2 hours, few days a week), and you should be level 300 in a couple weeks. Do the quests (free stuff, exp cards). Do the dungeons, especially those who match your exp level (for example: dun 120 already gives 90k per run until you reach 150). A fresh level 330 character should have 20-30 mil silver by the time you get less income from dungeon runs (I’ve just leveled one, and that’s exactly the amount I have at that level).
If you really want to buy a token from the market at this point, you should have the funds to do so. Use that monthly premium access to level your char to 360. Then you’re pretty much set. As multiple posters said, you have many LEGIT ways of making money in the game, you don’t need to farm stuff forever or make AFK necrobots or use RMT: Saalus, dungeons, HG, CM… hell even visiting lower level fields is profitable, because monster drops fixed items (compared to the new unidentified stuff) which can be sold for a lot of money (5-10k each).
The easiest way however is to do raid missions: 10% chance of getting a recipe, so do 10 runs (for a f2p player that’s 60 raid portal stones which roughly cost 10 mil to craft if you buy the mats off the market), hopefully get a recipe… and simply sell it! You don’t need those fancy weapons if you’re not a hardcore player… Currently, those recipes are easily sold for 80-120 mil silver in the market, but you can also consider trading them for shards with other players. Use those shards as you wish, selling them could net you 60 mil easily. Then you have your cash for 3 more months worth of tokens…
For myself, I’ve never bought tokens. I have some event tokens that I use in some cases (mainly to learn attributes immediately), and they do the job fine. We’ll even get a free 15 days token in the forthcoming free DLC pack, and I hope they’ll continue adding some tokens in recurrent events like they did the whole year last year. I don’t play as much as considering getting a token every month, I feel it would be a waste of a token.
And as last resort, you can buy your tokens from TP. If you’re willing to play ToS for hours, I cannot imagine you can’t afford to spend a few coins on a token… I even cannot understand why people would buy tokens from TP and then sell them in the market, unless you get them from those x10 bundles in gatchas and have more than you will ever need…
