Destiny doesn't have equal starts, has terrible coding, terrible servers, and the hitboxes/AA/bullet magnetism is very casual friendly. Not saying the game can't be fun, but those factors make for a non-competitive game. People saying that that game doesn't require skill aren't inquiring that they would be better if these issues were fixed, they are saying it makes the game too easy and makes for a small skill gap, which is true. The skill gap is punishing in a game like Halo, whereas that gap is much closer in Destiny between a "pro" and a "casual".
