the reasons why your suggestions wouldn't work is because it would break the crucible mode. Whatever is done in the game, whatever is customizable and added...its all always done with the crucible in mind. Take this for example.....for a game that's said to have so much customization. ....we can't even change our height and weight... The simple justification for this, again is the crucible. Changing those features changes the hit box. That in itself causes an unbalance. So the farthest we can go is to choose a slender female over the male. The rpg elements in the game are on a small scale...as well as the mmo elements...which is why people debate furiously over Destiny not being an mmo. ..the elements are Deffinitely there...but it's obvious it's to a lesser degree. A far lesser degree. Cause quite frankly if all it was, was an mmo. ....It would be one of the shittiest mmo games to date. Cause it's missing all that stuff to make it a stronger mmo rpg. That doesn't make Destiny bad at all. Its hitting the mark in so many other important areas to its merit. Just not those within the range of expectations from a player deeply involved in mmo rpg games. It hits some of them, misses a lot more though. So instead, a smart move on their part, it's something much more than an mmo or a fps. It's missing the other stuff, but instead has something very different to offer. Which causes the intrigue to this title and why many were anxious to play it. Forget the nuts and bolts of that argument and take it for what it is. If the fps end wasn't regulated on so much Destiny would be an entirely different game. Some would love it, some wouldn't love it as much and some wouldn't play it. Its the equivalent of an alternate version of Destiny That doesn't have a competitive multiplayer, to a version that does. So luckily for most bungie fans, bungies never given up the competitive outlet. Otherwise we would all be guardians with swords instead of guns fighting that giant frog that was in the concept art during early early development. Some people would have preferred that game over what we got, others that knew of bungie are happier they decided to stay with the sci fi fps genre and expand its depth. I know you bring up other stuff, but for the most part...I feel as if the the game is what it is because predominantly it's a fps with a blend of elements from other genres. I actually like it a lot. There's a few tweaks I'd love to have in the game..that I felt would make it a better experience...so I threw that in the sea of feedback. Other players read it and agreed with nearly all of it, but a bungie rep never bothered writing a reply.
