While a mere 52 I sympathize with a lot of what you are saying. I can't do crucible because I have the mere reactions of a 52 year old and until I accidnetally bumped into a really great band of players one day (that includes other 50+ and 60+ year olds) I have played alone so there's no chance of getting beyond 32.5 on 3 characters because everything beyond that involved co-operative team play. I'm guessing that at 72 you are retired so I can't think of a more relaxing way of whiling away your free time than playing Destiny so fo the sake of £40 (or whatever it is where you are) I'd have thought that TTK wolud buy several hundred more hours of cheap and cheerful entertainment - so I'd go for it. While we haven't seen all the details or the system in action I actually like this proposed change from equipment (and hence random drop) based levelling to basing it on XP and what you actually do so I'd like to believe that there won't be silly 32.5 "bars" for us in future if we prefer to play alone without being forced into raid/PoE teams. It should be possible for anyone to reach 40 simply by pouring in the hours and gaining XP from just kills, bounties, Strikes or whatever. By the way, as an experiment in the last week I created a new account on my PS4 so I could have 3 new characters without affecting the three 32.5s I have. I managed to finish the original story line and get to lvel 20 in just a shade over 9 hours. It's a real eye opener to go back to XP based levelling and also to remember how frequently you would get a gun, fully upgrade it then simply discard it as you got a "better" one to replace it. As I'll probably start another character from the start for TTK just to exeperience it all from scratch this was useful practice of what's to come. EDIT: I see you are on PSN - is that PS3 or PS4? If PS4 I'd happily team up with you some time to try some of the harder stuff (like PoE32 for example) though we might need to get a 3rd player along for something like that.
