The term elements in regard to Destiny means using the laziest parts of what makes a MMO a MMO. Rng based loot? Check. A halfway contrived drop in drop out system in the world? Check. Vendors selling useless loot that becomes obsolete after farming quests/enemies? Check. You can't let them get away with using "elements" of an MMO and then use that as a crutch when they do it poorly. But continue to defend what they do. I can't wait for other games to use "elements" of other games and when it's done half-assed people like you will swoop in over the horizon and be their shield. Make sure to get some more silver and make Deej proud.
