If there has to be gear, then the least worst way to do it would be to do it like a JRPG, where the gear isn't random, and is obtained in specific ways on specific quests. At least then you can play more of the real game before moving on, because the quests and stuff are ostensibly fun in their own right.
I agree, I much more enjoy picking a difficulty that I find enjoyable and later missions being more difficult because they assume you mastered certain skills in the game already.
Usually I played on Heroic in Halo games when playing solo because I found it the right amount of challenge with the right amount of fun. I would be very annoyed to have to play normal before being able to play heroic.
Personally, I very much enjoyed the difficulty system in Left 4 Dead 1. If Destiny could do a similar thing I would be very happy.
