Having read the insightful threads from respectable members of this community on how The Division is [i]the[/i] Destiny-killer, aswell as witnessing the incredibly popular social-utopia that is the Division forum, I really think Bungie should take a page or two out of Ubisoft's book.
By making a few changes based on winning aspects of The Division, I firmly believe Destiny could once again be a great game.
[b]Change 1: Enemies[/b] - Scrap every enemy and instead create a single race of dregs dressed in an assorted variety of cotton / polyester sweatshirts, scarves and hats. Buff enemy armor by 800%. Name them all Alex.
[b]Change 2: Bosses[/b] - Scrap all boss fight mechanics. Scrap every existing boss in lieu of one of the aforementioned enemies with a higher amount of HP and damage output. Pick a noun at random, set as boss name.
[b]Change 3: PVP[/b] - Scrap the existing PVP completely, and instead allow guardians to kill eachother in a specific area of Patrol mode. Players must complete a Warsat event to keep any collected loot. Have deaths reduce light level.
[b]Change 4: Locations[/b] - Scrap the moon, venus, mars, saturn, and reef. Scrap patrol matchmaking.
[b]Change 5: Endgame[/b] - Scrap all endgame content in lieu of a max light level difficulty for 5 story missions.
[b]Change 6: Mobility[/b] - Scrap sparrows, pikes, heavy pikes and interceptors. Scrap jumping. Scrap crouching. Buff jogging. Add shadestep to every class.
[b]Change 7: Gear[/b] - Hand out legendaries and exotics freely, but with a 99% chance of having a useless roll. [i]Sweet! A Gjallarhorn! ..Aw man, Shank burn..[/i]
[b]Change 8: Other[/b] - Make the game third-person. Nerf strange coin drop rate. Scrap existing supers. Players must queue to interact with vendors.
These suggestions are the result of hours of tireless research.

Bungie really could learn a lot from the division. The game has been fun as hell. I wasn't going to get it, watching videos didn't make it look fun at all. But, I got bored one day and said screw it. I bought it and haven't stopped playing it. I leveled up to 30 in 4 days and had a blast every step of the way. The match making in this game is the best I ever seen in a game. Its smoother then anything I ever played. I ran into a friend at the base, I clicked on join group and instantly I was in his group. I didn't have to go to orbit and load back in. There was no loading screen. It was instant. Once I got to 30, a bunch of new stuff unlocked. I done a challenge yesterday and when you beat it, its guaranteed to drop an exotic. Multiple exotics can be worn at the same time. I could go on and on. But, instead. I am going to hop on the game now. If you haven't picked it up yet. You are missing out. Its like an advanced modern red dead redemption.
