Adding the tokens to Jonathas was to help new players get the increasingly out of reach veteran rewards before they died of old age, which was an increasingly loud complaint with each new tier of rewards. It was never about giving veteran players who already had all the rewards something to do.

Also, most new achievement-related rewards nowadays seem to be tied directly to the achievement itself and are acquired at the time/place of the achievement or from something/one related to the content like a vendor or a quest. Rather than the old method of do something here, then go talk to Jonathas there to get an additional reward in a completely unrelated and disconnected fashion. I suspect they've moved towards the former method of rewarding achievement items because, if this forum is any indication, ALOT of new players are frequently confused about how to get the rewards the achievement says they should get when Jonathas needs talked to.
