I've always felt like Destiny should shift towards either a Diablo/Borderlands style that's free to play (after you buy it I mean) has no weekly lockouts, all content viable and just showers you with loot (which would justify the RNG) and have the Raids in the game as a means to challenge PvE players and offer unique drops you can only get there etc; Or go full on MMO, possibly with a monthly subscription (I know people would rage over this but running games like these is not cheap) which would justify the weekly lockouts on end game activities. But that would also mean having a persistent world with everyone in it at once, designated worlds etc. and best of all, real-time events and an in-game economy. One thing I've always wanted to see was the actual state of the Destiny world changing based on player participation, i.e. if the playerbase on a given world ignores a particular planet for too long, the aliens just take over and even just going there becomes a battle (literally, as in using our ships to battle through a blockade in outer space so we can land and go on some kind of massive-scale quest to retake the planet). I mean imagine it, tens if not hundreds of Guardians banding together to take back a planet overrun by the Cabal or the Vex. That'd be AWESOME! I just don't like that Destiny is some weird hybrid of the 2 models as it just doesn't work all that well. It could, potentially, but they seem reluctant to make the necessary changes.

  • Yeah I totally agree that this game has great potential to become this brilliant mmorpg loot-shooter hybrid but in the end I think bungie were too ambitious and possibly forced by Activision to cut it down into the "shared-world-shooter it is today. The worst part about all this though is that as time goes on I don't think bungie is getting any closer to achieving that dream, if anything they're getting further away. This game is getting more and more mainstream to appeal to the casual community, for maximum profit and it'll eventually get to the stage where a lot of destiny's audience is the same as those who only play cod, fifa, etc until it all steamrolls into this annual money sucking black hole that never goes anywhere. At least that's what could happen if bungie continue to ignore their fan's feedback.
