So for those that are stuck on the part about it not being a big enough leap... imagine that it is a $60 expansion. What are your feelings about it now?
Doesn't work like that. Because it's not expanding on anything.
How D2 is destroying everything you earned? You can still play D1 if you want, they're not taking anything away from you.
I cant do it using D2s updates though. Thats the difference.
If you want to keep playing the newest Destiny and keep up to check with other players, you absolutely cant be playing D1.

That's not an answer the question, and you're extremely naive if you really believe it's "not expanding on anything".
It is not about the money. It is about putting more time into a game that I have grown tired of after a 1000 hours. I need some feeling of new or I am not going to bother.So for those that are stuck on the part about it not being a big enough leap... imagine that it is a $60 expansion.

Why couldn't you?Really? So tell me can you add this to Destiny 1? No? then its not an expansion. It's not expanding on the base game, its a sequel, its marketed as a sequel. The only one who's naive is yourself,
Your question is ridiculous.

Saying Destiny 2 looks like DLC gives way too much credit to Destiny's DLC
some of the worst DLC content to price ratio in all of gaming.
Destiny 2 looks like a proper good Destiny 1 expansion, something we never got (even with TTK).
The comparisons to WoW have nothing to do with graphics or gameplay.
Bungie sold us on Destiny being a 10 year platform. When that wasn't going to happen they told us they would be leaving behind Destiny 1 because Destiny 2 needed a fresh start.
Bungie convinced a lot of people that Destiny would be a hub game that just got more and more expansions as time went on. They even went so far as to call them by Year. Destiny Year 1, Year 2, Year 3.
Now Destiny 2 is giving us a fresh start, but mostly from a balancing perspective. The game needed to be changed. Several subsystems needed to be overhauled in a way that an expansion doesn't seem to quite be able to do. Except Bungie did do it. With Taken King Bungie overhauled their leveling system for the better. So we're caught in this limbo where we've seen what Bungie can do with an expansion, so we're left wondering why we need to fork over $60 to abandon our old game for one that feels lesser in many ways.

That's kind of the point. From the look of it, you should be able to just add this to Destiny 1. Because it looks almost exactly like Destiny 1.
The reason it feels like Destiny 1.5 and not Destiny 2 is simple. All those things you mentioned are mostly cosmetic and not necessarily vast gameplay differences. The things they added like Guided games, LFG in game, Matchmaking with everything...those SHOULD have been in Destiny even if patched in later but never were.
Destiny 2 = All the mistakes we made with Destiny 1 we fixed and added some new maps, and new weapons but the game looks and plays the same: Enjoy!
Things we've gotten from Destiny 1 expansions:
- New Destinations (Dreadnaut and Plaguelands)
- New weapon types (swords and sidearms)
- Overhauled level system (light level specifically)
- 3 Brand new Subclasses
- New enemy AI archtypes (the Taken)
- New PvP modes (Trials, Sparrow Racing, Supremacy)
This muddies the water of what a sequel could/should have because most of the bigger and better bullet points are things we've already experienced via DLC.

I KNOW it's not an expansion. But, if everyone is saying it looks like DLC, I'm asking if it would be easier to swallow for these people simply for the distinction. I'm trying to guage peoples perceptions, and you're just being a jerk about it.

I think the inherent problem is that Destiny is basically almost an MMO, so the idea of a sequel in the first place just doesn't register for a lot of people.

Halo 2 redefined console multiplayer - I think that's way more than Destiny 2 could hope to achieve.HALO 2 looked like HALO. I really expected more here. Sure they added some stuff and fancied up the skins, but if you look at it, it is pretty much HALO. I expected a lot more from HALO 2, like exploding unicorns and a completely redone game and not the continuation of a very popular game.
my expectations were like we are going from FFXIV to ARR kind of change, but it looked more like a Destiny Expansion, and im totally satisfied and done with D1.
The idea that all sequels are huge leaps up is kinda crazy considering for a lot of games that's not really true.

this already happened when TTK was released.
did you play it?

What a weird thing to say.
A game doesn't have to redefine anything to be great.
Off Topic but, is your avatar Warpaint?
If so, you have great taste
uh those are improvements that could or should be possible for Destiny 1.4k, bigger maps, less loading screens between traveling, (probably more vault space) to start.
That wasn't the question.Because its literally not an expansion for Destiny.
Unless you can buy it and add it to Destiny 1, whether or not it's called an "expansion" is irrelevant, because it literally isn't. This isn't the followup to Rise of Iron.
I was making a point that Halo 2 was more of a new game than Destiny 2 based on that alone and using Halo is a poor comparison.What a weird thing to say.

I think the real issue is that many people hoped that Destiny 2 would fix a lot of the problems they had with Destiny, and the truth is that they're not really changing the core game very much at all.
Remembering the days of Left 4 Dead 2.

In a sequel, I honestly would've expected 3 whole new subclasses for each class, sure they expanded on the abilities a little, but here I am as a Titan. Still throwing hammers, still slamming the ground, except now I trade out Ward of Dawn for the relic from VoG
