Many of us have read that this is not the game that Bungie had originally intended to make. According to rumors there was some division at the company that caused much of the initial content to be gutted and reworked to buy the company time to do better with the DLC. Despite the problems it has with repetitive missions and a poor short story, Destiny is still incredibly fun and I still have hope that Bungie will put forth the almighty effort and strike down the naysayers with an awe-striking DLC that will rock the gaming world.
That doesn't change the fact that this game is in the ICU and its survival is not certain. The review I posted shows what Destiny needs to do, but if sales bottom out the company will probably cut their loses and move on to other things. If we want to see Destiny make it then we have to place a bet. I'm talking about DLC. I know that many of you will tear my flesh and crucify me for saying this, but if we want Destiny to reach its full potential and to really exceed our expectation, then we have to do something. I know that many of you will argue and say that Bungie made enough money on the release of Destiny, but don't forget that that number is often inflated and that Activision will be taking their share as well.
Making this game reach its true potential will change the gaming industry forever. it would prove that massive titles like Destiny can make it, if the company can do a good job. Things have really gotten down to the wire though and I don't think sitting back and hoping for the best will be enough. To ensure that we are able to enjoy Destiny at its very best level we have to take a chance. Make a bet with me.
Let's gamble...

Something you have to grind the gear for, which is as compellingly crafted, mechanics-wise, as the grind content is barren and phoned-in. Can we spread some of those interesting game mechanics and rule-changes to some of the more accessible content? Off topic: Holy wall-o'-text paragraph, Batman! EDIT: thank you, OP, for breaking it into paragraphs. It's much more readable now.
