Just because you’re attempting to censor folks that may not have played the full game from talking about the game (even though a little bit of research can let you see how bad this game is), there are still plenty of true fans of the original franchise that will stand up and request bungie actually bring forward a version of the game they loved.
D1 vanilla through HoW was the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had. The MMORPG style of play appealed to a TON of people. It appealed to more folks than D2’s bland standard FPS has (see destiny tracker numbers)
If destiny was able to claw its way back to a near exact replica of the HoW days then I know I would come back. It may even bring back at least 70 of my Xbox live and PlayStation friends networks. I am not the only one that knows or thinks this. The HoW participation was so much greater than this equivalent time frame of D2.
If bungie’s [b][i][u]only[/u][/i][/b] goal is to create a game for profit sake, then they have succeeded so far. If bungie’s goals also include the attempt to create an immersive experience with fun to seek out loot and appeal to the hardcore gamers today, then they are failing at an important portion of their goals.
No company is ever in business only for money when their primary product is for customer pleasure and enjoyment. There is a concept of customer satisfaction, and there are links to customer satisfaction and the success of future business. Bungie has done well on the money portion of D2, but they are failing on the customer satisfaction and marketplace appearance.
I don’t know how to get D2 into the d1 gameplay style, as I am not a programmer or developer, but I know that it would be a successful rebranding of D2 if that were the case.

Feedback.

The thing I am curious about is why now? Why do this now? So they can better "listen" to our feedback? So that begs the question, "Why do they suddenly care about our feedback now?" And, please, do not waste my time saying that they have always cared about our feedback. Cause if they did take our feedback seriously, the Destiny 2 we got would never have been green lighted in pre-production. So no, you cannot convince me that prior to this Destiny 2 debacle they took our feedback with any remote seriousness. The Live Team working on D1 TTK, yes, but not the main Bungie Team. So if Bungie didn't care for our feedback back then, why suddenly this change of heart? Could it be that Bungie miraculously realized they thoroughly enjoy some of the ideas we have provided over there years and want to bolster that relationship? Or could it possibly be that they are unwillingly forced to listen to us now cause Activision and investors want the bleeding of bad media and player base drop off to stop?
