Bungie,
Destiny has gone through many improvements since the vanilla days that have made it one of the best games out there however there is still a serious problem you have not addressed. No dedicated servers?
There are severe problems with lag in your game during PVP. There is really no way you can consider Destiny a competitive multiplayer game without dedicated servers. Adding in Trials of Osiris and Iron Banner does not fix anything if the competitiveness of multiplayer is hampered by lag and other peer hosting issues. The multiplayer / PVP aspect of Destiny needs dedicated servers for the player base.
[b]Examples of serious issues that occur without dedicated servers:
-Lag switching hackers
-Ip booting players out of games
-Lag based cheating
-Trading kills because of delayed signals (When you kill someone first and then you die a second or two after )
-Extreme lag to all players when 1 or more other players in game are Red lagging.[/b]
There was no issues like these in Halo when dedicated servers were used.
Please implement Dedicated servers. Kotaku article shows exactly what lag is doing to us in multiplayer.

In all honesty now that you are introducing micro transaction and selling items this should not be an issue to have dedicated servers. We would rather pay for items and get a better service than random add on content that will still be affected by lag.
Along with the dedicated servers, please add back the ability to create private multiplayer matches where we can play game types with friends and invites. (Bounties and quests can be disabled for these private rooms so as not to make them easily doable.)
Thank you for reading. If you agree that Destiny needs dedicated servers please up and bump this post!
Sincerely,

Between the cheaters and the lag the game is unplayable. One or the other -blam!- sake

They really should just start renting servers out. It solves their money grubbing problems, people get what they want, win win. Thing is Bungie doesn't really give a crap. That's the problem. If they did, it would have been done already.
