If these tokens would take up inventory space then that is the last thing XIV needs right now, most people already struggle for room.

Honestly I doubt it will be changed. There are ways around it now. Start the fight, remove people who you think lied. (State you will do so in PF description to avoid drama.) Make a LS and invite the "good" players to it so you esentially make a static of sorts. (Not a let's do this at x time every day static but a we know we are good at this so we can always do it again when we are available one.) Yeah it takes time kicking people and all that but it's a way around it that works now.
