It is not an actual MMO in that mold.
If that is what you are looking for then you will never be happy.

I don't think it is possible to make a game on the scale of an MMO with the mechanics and gameplay as Destiny.

But I still don't get what you are saying. It is the same thing as many MMOs that I have played when it comes to story quest or strikes. You have a open world and when you get into the mission it is instanced. That is exactly what Destiny does, you just don't have a loading screen.

My complaint has been the complete erasing of old content and the character I built.

From the MMO perspective, grinding is easier to accept because you always have the same character and the older content there to return to 5-10 years later. You can see and feel how you've grown as a character and a player.

This reset shite takes all that away and makes Destiny more closely aligned to the Madden Series which is FINE. But don't sell me a dildo and tell me it's a banana.

It is certainly possible. Just takes the will and the $$$$

It doesn't have to be exactly like WoW, but Destiny is very much an MMO but only stripped down to the most grindy aspects.

Again, "MMO" can be a lot of different things. It's not a traditional tab-target MMO like WoW or Everquest, but I would certainly consider Destiny to be a form of MMO.

My point is you have one map for every planet and all the game's content takes place on it. You fight the same monsters and kill the same bosses on patrol that you do on a strike or story mission. There are no unique areas for story missions or strikes. I don't know much about raids because I never did them.

The fact that it's just the same stuff repeated over and over again gets old really fast. Patrols and story missions should have their own unique locations that are separate from the strikes.
