Bungie should introduce Weekly and Monthly Bounties. They would need to be appropriately time-consuming for their time limit, and would need to have serious rewards. For Example:
Weekly Bounty - Reclaim Our Lands
Kill 100 Fallen and 100 Hive Majors on Earth
Reward - 10 Motes of Light
- 10 Strange Coins
- 10,000 Glimmer
- 1 Full Reputation Level Gain
Monthly Bounty - Unbreakable Striker
Complete 100 ROC Strikes without Dying
Reward - 15 Motes of Light
- 15 Strange Coins
- 15,000 Glimmer
- 5 Legendary Engrams
- 2 Full Reputation Level Gains
These are just rough numbers to convey the idea.
EDIT: A very valid addition was brought up, suggesting that Weekly and Monthly Crucible Bounties be included as well. I totally support that. ROUGH examples would be:
Weekly Bounty - Well Rounded Victor
Win 5 Rounds of Control, Clash, Skirmish, and Rumble
Rewards - (Equivalent Weekly Reward)
Monthly Bounty - Deadly Streaker
Earn 50 Killstreak Medals, and 5 Streak Medals for each weapon type
Rewards - (Equivalent Monthly Reward)
These would exist alongside the PVE style Weekly / Monthly Bounties to try to include both of the major Destiny communities. OR, to mitigate reward-overload, they could be launched separately every other month, or whatever would balance the system.
Rewards could get more creative than what I have posted, too. They could include ammo synths, weapon telemetries, x-number of class-specific upgrade materials, or whatever. They'd need to be something worth putting in a week's / month's worth of effort.

I'd probably drop the number of strikes required as that is a massive number. The marks earned would buy a few legendarys and you would hit the cap repeatedly and that would be without including the ones where you died. My suggestion would be to drop the cap to 50, and that the bounty would sit in the mission items part of inventory rather than valuable bounty space. Also that the bounty should work with the DLC or non-dlc playlists.
