Destiny is closer diablo in that regard. Just replay over and over and get stronger.

No, not at all. Borderlands is the FPS Diablo. Destiny has much more in common with MMOs, albeit not as good unless the FPS style of gameplay really appeals to you. Ultimately that's what it comes down to. Every time I start playing Destiny, I think of how much better and more rewarding playing WoW would be, but not everyone is into the fantasy, tab targeting aspects of a lot of modern MMOs. Destiny allows a whole other type of gamer to experience why so many get addicted to the MMO genre.

For starters, the rate with which you obtain gear is much slower. Often times you grind x of y a number of times to unlock the ability to buy some item which is straight out of an MMO. Diablo is nothing like that at all. You rely on random drops via replaying the game on higher and higher difficulty levels or farming bosses for specific items.

You also have many different styles of play. You can do PvP, you can solo on patrols, and/or you can do group missions on strikes. Strikes are laid out exactly like instanced dungeons in a modern MMO. Destiny also has raids which require larger parties of players to complete.
