Nope. One thing I hate about a lot of MMOs (I know destiny isn't an MMO) is that races have perks. This makes it so that if you want to be competitive you have to pick certain race/class combos in order to play something to it's fullest potential and this limits player freedom and creativity.

If you want to be competitive, you won't want to be creative. What limits the freedom and creativity (the things that make us think outside of the box) is by making race bland and something to shrug at and move on.

Why does competition eliminate creativity?
-
By looking up the best build in order to be competitive ruins the aspect of learning what works and what doesn't to your play style (But I never said anything about eliminating creativity). Since creativity is defined as "the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.", someone else was the creative one in finding the build, and others choose to follow suit instead of learning on their own.

I am personally glad race is cosmetic in Bungie. I just wanted that elaboration, and am not one to research builds. Well, unless you count Dark Souls, but I also experimented more in that game than any other this last generation.

Hey, man, we're all entitled to our opinion, and at one time I agreed with you, and still respect your opinion. I just felt that a little bit of a divergence would help flesh out character meaning.
