**copied from my FB post and honestly, I didn't think I'd have to make one of these for D2.
An origin DLC (5 backgrounds all leading to how we originally died. How we became as exo. Why we left the Reef. If we were an honor guard in the Reef. How we were as a human. If we had children.)
The choice 'tween 50 male and female names based on Race.
Racial stats.
All weapons having different stats that can be re-rolled after hitting 280-300.
Our guardians shouldn't impersonate Link...
Building our characters personality and reacting to the world around them as well as our other characters.
When we choose to extract, a designated alt character (one of our other guardians), pops up on the bottom right corner asking if you're ready to depart - with their personality shown in how they act or speak.
The option to tether our characters together as friends, sisters, brothers, lovers (there's content and weapons which hint at titan and warlock romance as well as human and exo romance as well as woman to woman love ((unless I have my lore wrong on the gender of Wei Ning)).
The option to name our weapons which can be a toggle if people want to see its base or new name.
The choice 'tween ghost's voice - either male or female. (Said this since D-1, not due to the Osiris trailer)
--I'm not entirely liking the idea, but likely our other characters are just in different instances and bungie "may" show this ...it seems lackluster to me...--
Recovering some of our most used weapons. Legendary only. And follow quests to rebuild lost exotics...or who knows...hunt down A Kell named Randall who uses Ghallarhorn.
To venture back where Tevis Died and have one of our alt characters (after choosing which) will let our guardian -that triggered the mission- sit and wait while we control the alt and rendezvous with then. Control then segues back to the first guardian (a hunter due to nightstalker quest) while the alt carries Tevis' body using a hand cannon or sidearm while we help them back to the ship. After a few fights, areas explored, we reach the extraction point where our 3rd guardian drops down and helps in fending off the Hive, Taken, and Vex. (Maybe add in air strikes we could control as if its Ace Combat 4).
*Cont. from above: adding symmetry like this could even feel like Dragon Age Inquisition or Final Fantasy, especially if it allowed you to swap tween each character you have engaged in the activity. (I'd personally love this if it happened)
Personalities and idle actions: look at Cole from Infamous. His idle movement spoke of his karmic state as did his appearance. Elder Scrolls online does the same. Warframe also has this feature as well but they are called Animation Sets.
The option to engage characters in conversation at the tower, farm to learn more of the universe or about them. As well as our guardians speaking amongst themselves while aboard the ship or going about their own routines: A Warlock (can female Warlocks also be called Sorceress' by the way?) can be meditating, reading, levitating. A Hunter or Huntress can be recalibrating their last equipped weapon's sight, sharpening their knife. Titans can be seen reading, working out (in full battle rattle at times), cleaning their armor (base gear weapon description tells of cleaning armor after every battle).
Continued from an earlier bit, speaking to our other characters and seeing the controlled character speak of which path they lived (path you chose) and learn how the guardian feels on it based on their personality: laid-back, aggressive, calm, livid... etc.
**These are just ideas I literally bounced off the wall in a split of three minutes. But still...these little things would do wonders.
Bump this so that Bungie takes notice.

So kinda like make Destiny a FPSMMORPG? Are you serious? Crazy talk, just crazy. [spoiler]The above is sarcasm, for people unable to recognize it. The below is not.[/spoiler] [spoiler]Great ideas. Probably never going to happen, but really great ideas.[/spoiler]
