Here are somethings to add to the whiteboards, Bungie.
[b]1:Auto Aim Optional[/b]
The auto aim/track needs an option to be turned off.
[b]2: New Class of Heavy[/b]
While we enjoy HMGs and rocket launchers, a new class of heavy would be wonderful, something along the lines of a grenade launcher or similar to a torch hammer/hive boomer, its main roles would be medium to long range artillery, for getting over hydra shields, into groups of enemies behind cover or up on ledges. Damage over time would be another advatage (really what Dragon's Breath should have been).
[b]3: Pulse Rifles[/b]
I know you have pulse rifles but I don't think of them as such, more like burst fire. First things, to fix the pulse rifles you have they need better better impact, they need to stagger enemies, they need to make them flinch, every pulse rifle you have feels like I am shooting enemies with a slug gun.
Second, alien tech everywhere and we can't have a plasma pistol type gun/rifle make it a mid range r.o.f and impact around the same as a decent scout rifle, hell even make it pretty much like a full auto scout with plasma bullets so it feels like we are firing alien tech, reduce initial damage and add rest of damage as a d.o.t effect.
[b]4: Strike Options[/b]
Give us options on strikes to be able to solo or duo strikes without anyone else except friends joining. Reason being, most of us are sick of people who either, run ahead, die and ruin it for us, or don't do anything or just plain trolls. Instead of having a kick system which would be abused simply have a "no join" option. Most of us can solo Roc Strikes no problems, I realise you want people playing together but the option not to would be nice.
Strike modifiers have been brought up in the past, I don't disagree, though I suggest randomisation. Or even multi layer option ie Roc Strike normal, Roc Strike modified easy ( has one mod) normal (2) hard(3) scary(all mods bar 3 burns) increase prize pool. Also make them include radiant shards and whatever HoW shards will be.
[b]5: Exotic Solo Strike[/b]
A solo strike where the end reward is a legendary or exotic, I don't mean one of the existing strikes I mean something that has random happenings, make them work for it, no damage sponges, 3 deaths and K.t.O.
[b]6: Random Gun Upgrade Bounties[/b]
Random mentor missives to upgrade a selected weapon (not exotic) select one of three outcomes. A)random stat increase, B)selected perk change, C) add/change element damage. Yes, you think it will lead to OP guns but that's the point, we are legend, we want our guns to be legendary too, it makes a goal we want to work towards.
[b]7: Exotic Shard Exchange[/b]
Trade in 15 exotic shards for random exotic, you can choose armour or weapon.
[b]8: Scout Rifle PvP[/b]
No super, no grenades, no heavy or special weapons just scout rifles, or even a set weapon. Eg, as you are flying in all members are given for that match a set weapon that is all they can use, when the match ends or they leave weapon is gone.
[b]9: Chalice Tiggy[/b]
No weapons except melee and grenades, random person is chalice holder, health regenerates for them, rest don't.
[b]10: Ammo Synth Drops[/b]
The ability to drop ammo synths for fireteam/randoms.
[b]11: Hot Keys[/b]
A set box for hot key, ie the down button or right click, basically if an ammo synth stack is in there right click and it uses it, if a weapon/armour is in there then it swaps with equipped weapon/armour (equipped is then stored in box to swap back with) if a skill is placed (solar wind, shadow jack, weapons of light) then it swaps between selected and equipped or even put your actual subclass there so you can change between them on the fly.
[i]Thank you for reading, I hope this sparks your imagination.[/i]

MORE TO DO: up the difficulty of VoG and stats on drops from that raid and do same again for both VoG and CE whenever HoW happens. The basic story missions have as many as 6 tiers, how hard can it be to up the raids??? add higher level strike list with random modifier call it a dragon strike or something! Make nightfall and weekly different strikes!!! Have a weekly nightfall raid. Open up all pvp game types and locations to always available. Have iron banner be every third week, and queens wrath the week after and a cooldown week. 3x as many new different bounties. Raid bounties/missions too. We have that big 'missions' section., PUT IT TO USE. MORE TO HAVE: except exotics, open up all weapons and armor to be progressively legendary upgradeable. Even to top tier legendary stats by breaking down a top tier raid item to transfer light and dmg/def stats. Have gunsmith re-roll perks or the speaker or even a new vendor, Make it expensive and always available. Pages in the vault, like a dozen at least. Have all the vendors rotate old stock and new on same timer as shipwright. Have DO/FWC/NM accept both currencies and sell shaders/ships at higher ranks. Make ships and shaders have some glimmer value on discard.
