They did say that in 3.0, we'd get a token system.

In 3.0 we’ll be introducing a token system, where one token will be distributed to every party member. For example, with this token system, you’ll be able to exchange 10 tokens for any weapon you choose.
Just hope that the tokens can be exchanged for any possible drop from a trial, rather than just gear.
