I think the best solution would be War Spoils combined with the possibility to buy all the stuff. So those who don't want to "grind" can buy it and those who don't want spend money can grind it.
If don't mind grinding, if I know what I have to do
Under the old system bulletins were linked to achievements, therefore if you wanted a given bulletin you knew what you had to do to get it and could go about doing it
Now drops are controlled only, and partially, but what faction you play but are otherwise random
Because there is no control over duplicates this means you will get stuff you already have, that you have either put time or money into getting.
Which, because no one needs duplicate commanders or more than 3 of the same bulletin, is effectively worthless because you cannot do anything with it
