well in first place its a shooter. the rpg and mmo touch is only for a more interesting sidekick. if the characters would have even more skills it would end up as a moba game, especially the warlock being a healer. (we dont know much about the sunsinger skill, but thats already a buff and it also resurrects yourself and your friends). and the dot effect is the warlocks grenade, by far the best atm (hunter has a more or less similiar grenade with less dmg). the titan has already a variety of tanking buffs, one is a sprinting shield. (which is shown in the latest trailer, the blue "anime-ish" effect. (at least im 99% sure its the sprint shield)) also dont give the hunter more crit, hes already bad-ass with his fabulous cape and the golden gun, much bling.
aggro system... well yeah, thats n mmorpg thing (or army of two). basically, if you run first into the enemys and shoot them first, they automatically attack you. so make sure your titan is always in plain sight, but watch your health while doing that.
for the lacking story in the beta - thats normal. (i know everyone uses this excuse) its a beta, but bungie wants to keep the story away from you until you actually have the full game so you wont get spoiled to much. same goes to most of the characters. (saladin, hunter / warlock / titan main npc) all the others are just npcs for buying stuff, check your mail, encrypt... they never or rarely have an interesting story. (i never got a story from a trade npc in an mmorpg). but the ghost was actually kinda interesting, he talked to me a lot :3
i would love to see spacefight, but seeing as the fanboys criticized the halo reach space missions (which were -blam!-ing awesome) this is highly doubtfull. also i love how they let you change your ship, adds a nicer touch to the "you are unique, you are legend" feeling. same goes to race, its cosmetic (like in every other mmorpg wich has multiple races. just sometimes they are in war / alli). human are the normal legends, exos are the badass legends and awoken (female :3) are the sexy legends. they could have included tigerman, i dont mind having more options to customize my character to look unique from everyone else. the more options the better, dont scratch it just because "it doesnt make a difference".
destiny feels more or less unique, and thats how games should be. not just copy and paste already done stuff. (i know shooter, rpgs and mmos have already been done 100x times, but destiny feels different. i wonder why you never mentioned vehicles...)

fist off I didn't mention the vehicles because at this point I don't have a voidable opinion on them good or bad. as far as the race things go I like to see minor buffs the make them feel different even if its one runs faster or jumps higher or even starts with a different weapon or melee again this is just a personal thing for me. as far as the uniqueness of destiny at this stage it feels just like borderlands to me with less depth of character (due to the fps focus and not the rig focus of borderlands) with out the humor so at this point I am at least far off from calling destiny unique. You do bring up a good point with the space combat and I could see that largely being the reason but over all else thank you for your input and taking the time to read mine.

no problem^^ i think the better jumping / running / stronger meele thing could be an interesting thing, but it shouldnt be too much if they would put that in the game. but i have to disagree with the borderlands feeling, there are actually more things to do than in borderlands, also the gunplay is a bit better. only the "story" in the beta is as dull as the borderlands story. but since its bungie, i wouldnt be to afraid about the story, i doubt they make it like borderlands.

I agree I don't think in the end it will end up like borderlands but as it stands right now thats the feeling I get from it but being fair we did only get to play up to lvl 8 and only in a very small portion of the world even if you count in the one moon mission
