Teq and TT have unique ascended rewards in addition to the “generic” ones, one of which is a unique weapon skin, the other a couple unique armor skins. In all honesty, if someone wants ascended armor, they might as well fork out the time, effort, and gold, to CRAFT it. Anet is not going to introduce a dungeon token-esque system that would get you ascended stuff any faster than crafting it.

Exactly, the reason ascended armor exists in the first place is because Exotics as it turns out are ridiculously easy to get. Being available in way too many ways at launch and then some. Ascended crafting has hard time gates for that specific reason so that they either are slow or expensive to craft, in some ways both, and remain that way for the foreseeable future.
