You are looking at millions of players in the wrong context when referring to one of the massive references when it comes to MMO. Massive in the MMO context is referring to the amount of players in a persistent world that can interact with each other. 16 players is not massive. 100 players is a good place to start, but as few as 50 could still be considered massive. Another reference to massive in an MMO context is the game itself. As I massive amount of content. Combine everything in destiny, including TTK, and it would still be the equivalent of just one playable map in a MMO such as Guild Wars 2. For example, I've played said MMO for almost 3 years. I have around 3400 hours played. I have still not completed some of the content, even endgame content. Even if destiny were already in year 10 with all content released(based in what was released in year one) it will still not come to this amount of content. Bottom line is a few poorly implemented MMO elements does not make a game a MMO. What you're doing with destiny is looking at a cheeseburger and calling it vegetarian because it has lettuce on it.
