Bungie gave a short preview about week ago on Hotfix 1.0.6, which just outlined a lot of adjustments to Crucible. The full patch notes now also include changes made to Faction Rallies, the companion app, and a few improvements for PC players regarding the Clan Rosters.
Some of the changes made to Faction Rallies are quite significant, including the drop of tokens received from doing Public Events. However, doing Nightfall does reward 10 — 18 Faction Tokens upon first completion per character. Bungie is going down a slippery slope with this update, considering they are decreasing the amount of Faction Tokens vs. time.
Below is the full patch notes for 1.0.6:
