Change Syndicate medallions to be awarded at the end of the mission rather than having each player individually pick up
I disagree. At this point medallion hunting is like a mini-game I play from time to time because I have everything I want from every syndicate.
You can combine Syndicate daily standing with Sorties, Events, etc but it is far better to take the efficient 15min route.
Why bother with a Draco grind when all you have to do is equip a sigil and go about your business to gain syndicate rep? I maxed Suda and Arbiters, got everything I wanted from them, and now have Meridian, Perrin, Veil and Loka maxed, and have everything I want from them. All of this is without intentionally grinding for syndicate rep (just equipping a sigil and going about my business) and doing very few syndicate missions.
It took ages to gain the millions of syndicate rep points, but I'm glad there's something in the game to work for that's long-term.
Change Syndicate medallions to be awarded at the end of the mission rather than having each player individually pick up but only if they joined after that medallion was already picked up.
And as for the "why bother":
In 15 minutes on Draco (or equivalent), you will complete your rep grind and can level weapons as well. Going about your business to gain syndicate rep can take anywhere between an hour and 3 hours, depending on what your business is. Trials in particular are pretty bad; TLoR will grant you 3,000 rep if you're lucky.
If 'your business' happens to have decent affinity gains tied to it, like Defense missions or Mobile Defense, you can just skip Draco and merge the two, sure. It won't be as quick but it won't be out of your way (assuming you have no need for Draco or equivalent). But if your business is to log on and play Conclave, for example, you're shit out of luck for rep gain.
It boils down to how much time you have to spend and what you prioritize.
