Horrible Exploration

Can someone tell me why patrol is a series of rooms linked together by corridors? Everywhere I look, there is a goddamn barrier stopping me from going somewhere interesting. Is this the kind of trend we are going to see in Taken king and subsequent titles? There isn't really a good reason for this type of trapped design, the beacon missions don't have much thought to them. The campaign mission set pieces I suppose justify this setup but most dont take place on the greater map, most missions are shoved off in inaccessible areas on patrol. I just want to have a bigger area to explore, places with fascinating off mission objectives and public events. Actual exploration beacon missions that take you to interesting areas. These missions and gameplay, being herded around exactly where you need to go isn't characteristic of a bungie game. Sure they say they only make the games they want to play but those games always had plenty of options. There were ways to get to your objective differently, destiny really doesn't allow much freedom but players found a way especially in raids. Ever wonder what's actually in the distance in the cosmodrome? What about the actual Valley of kings and the buried city on mars? What about the jungles of Venus you see from campus nine and the endless steps? The landscape on the moon inhabited by solar arrays and installations? I'm not asking for much, I just want to see areas fleshed out a bit better. I don't want to drive room to corridor to room. Can we at least get a open style map? I think this game would be much better on the adventure front if it wasn't riddled with goddamn corridors with pretty skyboxes. Man those sky boxes are gorgeous. Thoughts?
