I preferred rescuing claptraps as well. I don't know why they felt the need to make them all extinct; it's not even much of a plot point. Just sort of an "Oh btw all these lovable little robots are dead except the one that tried to kill you. So."

From what I've been reading it won't be as much of a pain to get your hands on Torgue Tokens vs. Seraph crystals; Torgue Tokens are supposed to drop from enemies killed within the DLC. That being said, since their only purpose is buying weapons from a vending machine that always has a legendary weapon available, I hope they're rare as hell.
