I've been playing Destiny extensively, both D1 and D2. Although I'm not the best player, I consider myself a PvP main. I enjoy spending most of my playtime in 6v6 modes. I dabble in solo Trials occasionally but find it slow and boring most of the time. Perhaps it would be more enjoyable with an efficient stack that knows how to push.
Here are my suggestions to improve the PvP experience:
1. Fewer modes: It makes no sense to have so many playlists to choose from. My suggestion is to have a single 6v6 mode and a single 3v3 mode.
2. SBMM or CBMM: With a declining population, better connection quality, and faster queue times are most likely the way to go. I don't mind slight SBMM, but it shouldn't come at the expense of connection.
3. 6v6 should be freelance: I feel strongly about this one. Whenever there's even a decent duo in the lobby, it throws the balance out the window. I believe 6v6 should be about casual and fast games. Freelance offers the best possible connection quality, the best lobby balancing, and the fastest matchmaking. If 6v6 becomes freelance, teams would populate the other 3v3 mode, breathing some life into it.
Thanks for reading.

That means I'm playing their game and invariably theyre not playing mine, theyre looking after their own. Consequently if there's pairs, thrios, quads in the matchmaking I'm trying to cancel out that lobby - I don't want them on either side or any part of it. Although switching to CBMM makes sense in the current death spiral or downturn (take your pick) it makes such a massive difference to the play experience there needs to be choices. Each of those need better incentives ie loot too to encourage both to go into the 'dark side' of the experience relative to them. But Destiny has bigger problems: stopping a major player exodus being the primary.
