Destiny could learn from The Division
Having read the insightful threads from respectable members of this community on how The Division is [i]the[/i] Destiny-killer, aswell as witnessing the incredibly popular social-utopia that is the Division forum, I really think Bungie should take a page or two out of Ubisoft's book.
By making a few changes based on winning aspects of The Division, I firmly believe Destiny could once again be a great game.
[b]Change 1: Enemies[/b] - Scrap every enemy and instead create a single race of dregs dressed in an assorted variety of cotton / polyester sweatshirts, scarves and hats. Buff enemy armor by 800%. Name them all Alex.
[b]Change 2: Bosses[/b] - Scrap all boss fight mechanics. Scrap every existing boss in lieu of one of the aforementioned enemies with a higher amount of HP and damage output. Pick a noun at random, set as boss name.
[b]Change 3: PVP[/b] - Scrap the existing PVP completely, and instead allow guardians to kill eachother in a specific area of Patrol mode. Players must complete a Warsat event to keep any collected loot. Have deaths reduce light level.
[b]Change 4: Locations[/b] - Scrap the moon, venus, mars, saturn, and reef. Scrap patrol matchmaking.
[b]Change 5: Endgame[/b] - Scrap all endgame content in lieu of a max light level difficulty for 5 story missions.
[b]Change 6: Mobility[/b] - Scrap sparrows, pikes, heavy pikes and interceptors. Scrap jumping. Scrap crouching. Buff jogging. Add shadestep to every class.
[b]Change 7: Gear[/b] - Hand out legendaries and exotics freely, but with a 99% chance of having a useless roll. [i]Sweet! A Gjallarhorn! ..Aw man, Shank burn..[/i]
[b]Change 8: Other[/b] - Make the game third-person. Nerf strange coin drop rate. Scrap existing supers. Players must queue to interact with vendors.
These suggestions are the result of hours of tireless research.

While I get the nature of the OPs post, there are some really cool things in the Division that would really make Destiny better. 1. Continue to grow the NPC interactions. Not just with the ever loved Cade or creepy Eris, but let's get to some settlements and help people build stuff. The idea of the base of operations that grows with your abilities is really cool in the division, but I think having some perks and bonuses in Destiny as you rebuild the world would be pretty awesome. As you build things, NPCs react to you differently. Like, now the JTF guys I pass by wave at me. That would be cool. 2. In-game Grimoire. Like the "Intel" section of the character screen. The videos and audio files are so freaking cool. It's not like Bungie doesn't have the number of tons of vocal talent. I love reading the grimoire, but I would love to see something more interactive added. 3. Continue to tell the story with the setting. There are some really good parts in Destiny, like the Hive Seeder that crashed into the Jovian Complex, the City in Venus, or the handless skeletons at the door to the archives. Dude, what happened to their hands??? 4. I'd love to be able to craft things, but considering the fairly limited armory for Destiny, it won't be super easy. 5. Cosmetic items please. Man, I was thrilled to get the pom-pom beanie and trendy jeans in the Division. All I need is a histper scarf to be a total douchy sacrifice in the DZ! I'd love to see more of that kind of thing come to Destiny. Like in the concept art. For me, I still love the Destiny game play. Running around and shooting aliens is still super fun! Face punching dudes, sticky grenades, crazy jumps and sweet slides =) The Division is a very different format for a game, but I do think that there are some great ideas to "borrow" for future Destiny content.
