We have all said it before and we shall all say it again...custom games.
As of now, before the anxiously awaited April 12th update, PvP is what is keeping Destiny alive. Most of us have done the raids and gotten to a pretty high light level were we just wait for next week to do challenge mode and beg for The Daughters to grant us a 320 class item. We have nothing else to do except The Crucible.
PvE content is extremely important but you must realize PvE will only last a player so long before they hit the max and need something else to do; PvP is that something else.
Just to make it easy for you Bungie I am going to list multiple ways to further PvP and make it a lot more than what it is today:
[i][b]Custom Games[/b][/i] - I take this idea from Halo. One of the best things Halo has to offer is it's custom games. Why? Because it the community that makes this work, we make maps and gamemodes that we WANT. They offer so much variety and excitement to the game overall. I know custom games are easier said than done so at least start with what is going to be my next suggestion, private matches.
[i][b]Private Matches[/b][/i] - We all have that competitive side and that one friend who we really want to dual and see who is better with the 1000 Yard Stare, we all want to have a 1v1,play a specific group of friends, or even have a clan battle. Private matches would be a great first step to custom games and would attract more people to Destiny PvP.
[i][b]New Game Modes[/b][/i] - Again I realize the process of thinking of and designing new game modes is hard but I have a suggestion. Faction Battles. Thats right, Future War Cult vs Dead Orbit vs New Monarchy. Gamers would pick their desired faction and fight in PvP representing and earning points for their faction of choice. After a certain amount of days the points are tallied and a certain faction wins. Maybe the members of the winning faction get a minireward or just bragging right, up to you (personally I think that the winning faction should get a minireward, nothing super OP or anything game changing, just a cool little thing. Maybe cosmetic like a free emote of your choice or something).
These are just a few ways to improve Destiny and keep gamers playing Destiny. Keep in mind these changes will also give Destiny more replayability.
(Please favorite and bump this post so Bungie will hopefully see and increment these ideas)

Fix the LAG!

Permanent freelance playlists!

Improve pvp? Cut machine gun ammo waaaay down. Tired of scrubs carrying a quillums like it's their newborn

Hopefully they all make it into Destiny 2.

I think we're going to need dedicated servers if custom games or a forge of some kind will ever be available.

Another thing i would like to add if i may? I would like to see all crucible modes to be accessible at anytime. It would be nice to play things like elimination, mayhem, or even inferno modes whenever we'd like instead of them popping up every now and again.
