MMORPG is broken beyond repair (Destiny)

The problems extend well past Destiny, and really originate from the genre itself: MMORPG. Thankfully Destiny has strong FPS elements to allow for a bunch of fun, but you are right in that it can't be fixed unless Bungie abandons a broken terrible genre. To their credit, this is the only MMO I have ever enjoyed.

Destiny would have been better served as a proper FPS, or as an RPG (perhaps RPG with FPS elements like Deus Ex).

Reminds me of the cracked.com classic:
