I think that is what the meat of this really is, of course tons of people still need credits, but replacing event tokens for credits for those that have them all, probably wouldn't lead to much more incentive.

Also, events should really take both levels of players into consideration. Obviously getting newer players more involved into the community is great, but you cannot forget that FFR should also continue to peak the interests of the players who've done almost everything. Just as we want to gain new frequent members in our community, we don't want to lose members we already have if we can help it. Running events of many different types and skill sets (where some are more involved with the FFR engine than others) will prove to keep hopefully everyone invested.

It's also the reason why more event tokens were suggested, so that there is more incentive for those who have unlocked everything to keep going. The way it is now, a person can get all the event tokens usually by pulling a single first place, or placing really well in a tournament. Of course not everyone can do that, but they can also build them up over time by participating in several events and placing. They are merely trophies and rewards for doing good in an event, so why not have a few more of them.
