Transmogrification is a must in Destiny. But there's also the "Wardrobe System" that Guild Wars 2 uses. It's almost the same thing except you have a wardrobe that saves the appearance of every piece of armor you've ever acquired, and each time you acquire a new piece of gear it unlocks its appearance in the wardrobe.
This is pretty much the same idea except in Destiny, you would have a wardrobe kiosk that has all of the armor you've ever found in the game, and you would be able to switch out appearances on the fly at that kiosk.
Indeed, and for those that didn't hold onto everything, it would give them more reason to re-visit VoG and CE even if they're not updated (but regular transmog would promote the same thing). In any case, it would be a win-win!
