lol Destiny is nothing like an MMO. With an MMO, you can get any/all crafting materials you need while running the normal course of the Quests in the game.
With Destiny, there's no Questing. There's just grind. Grind with no promise of what you seek. All other MMO's that are heavy on grinding at least give you the promise that eventually you'll get what you're looking for.
With Destiny's lack of Quests/Content that only serves to force frustrating repetition ad nauseum, mixed with the horrible set-up for their version of RNGesus, there's still no promise that you'll get what you're looking for.
Take all the people doing everything all the time in their hunt for Gjallarhorn. Hundreds of hours wasted with nothing to show for it.
Destiny is about as far from a true MMO as you can get.

It's not a true mmo, but it's values and scheme of raids and hardcore pvp is an mmo more than any other genre you could ever make it.
