at 1000 tokens per rune they are within reason. true it will be incredibly hard to get a full 20 but that is what commerce is for

More items will be added. People can still easily accumulate tokens to get items, and events make that easier. I easily accumulated 2,400 within the first two week of achievements release, and yes it did become slower after that. Not everyone is going to want every single item, and if they do they will post more.
For people who already posted and got all the non-event achievements and have too many tokens your suggesting to reset achievements to people who already posted a bunch to help encourage them to continue posting. And suggesting a token dump while resetting their achievements so they can earn a bunch of tokens again much easier, but at that point they already bought a bunch of the older items and will be going straight for the runes as their clear goal with the random new items delaying their goal.
That's making it even easier for additional rewards to people who already post a lot, and make tokens even more easier to obtain for everyone else because of how easy early achievements are. You need to eliminate that easy part. Because if not then you're just just setting every up onto the same path of over time to save up for runes, that's not solving any of the problems you brought up with gaining a bunch of tokens in the first place, that's creating a lack of motivation. Not to mention this pops up again:
Runes costing too little = Problems
Runes costing a lot = Not rewarding enough
That's why the current system is the way it is, the solution is more achievements that slowly get harder for people who post a lot, and a ton of items to choose from to induce spending.
But you do make a point that people who already post a lot need motivation to continue posting. Which leads us back to this thread. xD
edit: Oh look I just made 1,000 tokens for this being my 5,000th post since the Token system was put into place. I feel like this is slightly ironic.
