What does it mean to Become Legend? The literal term refers to "a story tied to a tradition without verifiable our authenticated evidence of it's happening". This doesn't fit Destiny's concept so we'll go with a definition that we as Guardians can most relate to, that definition is: "One Unlike Others" or "Unique in the Extraordinary". With this in mind, the current endgame leaves us begging the question, what makes my character unique? We all have the same skills and attributes based on our class. We all experience the same missions in the same sequence with not much variation (with the exception of DLC overhauled boss fights). And we all grind for the same items to boost our attributes to gain an upper hand over guardians that will sooner or later gain the exact same gear. Sure we have shaders and mix and matched armour sets and random rolls for different weapons, but in the grand scheme these differences are small, I dare say, even Trivial. If a God like being were to look at the tower and tell us what they saw they would see three Guardians and a plethora of their specialty equipped clones. We need to bring more variety into our Guardians Fundamental Abilities, our Skill Trees, our Attributes, and how we define ourselves as Guardians to "Become Legend"

You're talking about something that all MMOs have when it comes to talent trees, they're called cookie cutter builds. As for gear? Thats a preference but ultimately the same gear gets used but 95% of players regardless of the MMO. You want to become legend? Go do something no one else has or at least made a video of yet like that guy who rode through WoTM on a speeder, the 1st person to solo crota, the first group to 2or 3 man WoTM. Do some research, come up with something that no one else has done, do it and record it.
