Full game content. Is it possible starting with TTK as a year 2?

I've had a PS4 Destiny edition since last Christmas. It was really for my kids and I've only played a few games of Mortal Kombat with them and have never touched Destiny on that system. I purchased an XBOX 360 around the time TTK DLC dropped so I picked up a copy of the legendary edition. I've installed it but have only played a few minutes to get an idea of the gameplay and mechanics. I'm a PC guy and have [i]never[/i] played current consoles like PS3, PS4, XBOX 360, or XBOX ONE despite having them for my kids. (I have played NES, GameCube,wii, wii u. I am not unfamiliar with consoles, but my focus has always been on PC) So my FPS experience is solely from a PC perspective utilizing a keyboard and mouse. I know it will take time for me to become accustomed to a controller but I am going to keep an open mind and dedicate myself to becoming adequate using a controller for an FPS game. I've frequently been on the forums and I think I have a good grasp of what Destiny offers. Both good and bad. With that said, I am having difficulty deciding on how to begin the game. With TTK, it is my understanding that certain elements of the year 1 game have been removed and some earlier strikes/raids are almost unplayable as it is hard to get LFG for team play to complete them. While others have been removed completely, which is a bummer. True? I could use the Spark and level up to 25 and skip the earlier content, but I [i]want[/i] to experience as much of the game as possible with a new character and level up by going through the story from the beginning. Will I get an approximate experience by doing this anyway? Will I be able to progress without certain raid weapon and armor drops that are no longer available? Or should I use the spark to level my character up and start from there? (I don't want to do this if I can get more experience starting fresh). I may have gotten some of the details wrong. I need [i]you guys and gals[/i] to tell me what they are. I'm hoping I can get enough from your comments so that I can make an informed decision. I'm ready to join the Destiny universe, I just need some direction. Thank you in advance for any help! :) TL;DR New to Destiny. Have TTK Legendary. Want to experience as much content available from the beginning. Progressing through year 1 and Subsequent DLC's up through TTK. Is it possible? Is it worth it? Or should I just use the Spark to level up and just play TTK?

    I played all through year one on a Xbox 360. When TTK came out, I upgraded to the PS4 and got the legendary edition (included all the previous DLCs). I started from scratch. I actually really enjoyed starting from scratch and playing through the entire game and DLC's in order. Just now digging into TTK story. I would for sure go the route of starting over with a new character. Tons of new quests and things to do through the process. Enjoy!
