Just a list of suggestions that a friend ([url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Profile/254/4397985]astrological123[/url]) and I came up with and/or saw on the forums. Note that we don't realistically expect for Bungie to see or consider these ideas, and these are merely our views on things that they could do to improve Destiny in the future. Also note that we absolutely love what this game is right now and we are not trying to say that this game is terrible by providing such a long list. I'll go into more detail if anything needs clarification.
1. Sparrow Races
2. More Sparrows
3. More Sparrow Stats (to make the sparrow races more enjoyable and more like a racing game)
4. More Class Items
5. Higher Character Customization
6. Unique Caves
7. Secret Bosses
8. Vanity Items for in the Tower
9. More Equippable Exotics
10. Player-designed items (Contests for designs every month?)
11. More Factions
12. Different Beginning Stories Varying by Race
13. Paying for Dance Lessons (Makes for more dances/getting to choose your dances)
14. More Easter-Eggs
15. Flying Ships Through Space (Optional, like what they did with Kingdom Hearts....but please, no gummi ships and trippy levels)
16. Offline Play
17. Player-Made Maps (Contests for designs every month?)
18. More NPCs
19. Clan Hangouts (Purchasable with HUGE amounts of glimmer.)
20. Alternating Public Events (Maybe three different public events per area?)
21. More Unique Ships
22. Metroid & Guardians of the Galaxy themed armour if at all possible (Highly doubt this will even be considered.)
23. Samus's Ship (Again, I don't expect this to be considered, but it'd still be awesome.)
24. More Random Vendors Like Xur
25. A Tower Library to Replace Grimoire Cards
26. Higher Level Cap (I'm talking crazy high. Like in the thousands.)
27. Higher Glimmer Cap (Again, much, much higher.)
28. Purchasable (with Glimmer, of course) Player Homes/Furniture
29. More Armour
30. More Weapons
31. Unique Areas to Explore Outside of Missions/Strikes/Raids
32. Higher Tier Items (Several higher tiers)
33. Some Sort of Crafting System
34. More Materials for Crafting System
35. Faction Stories (Why did you get rid of those?)
36. No More Grimoire Cards (Trust me, this enrages most of the community. No more.)
37. Hot Buttons for Perishables
38. No Flying Straight to Missions (This makes the game feel too linear and guided. Let us make our way to the locations on our own.)
39. Interactive Load Screen (Astro said it, I don't understand, either.)
40. Splitscreen
41. Sidequests (TONS of these)
42. Exotic Bounties have their own section in the inventory
43. Player More involved in story
44. Radio (Like in Fallout or SR4)
45. Fighting Venus's Dragons! (And the Moon's Birds! Okay, I get that those are probably just satellites.)
46. Dead Ghosts Give Stat Boosts/Points, etc. (We need an incentive besides a trophy/achievement)
47. Message Board in the Tower for Forums (Let us view the forums in-game!)
48. Monthly Added Story Missions + New Area for those missions (Areas could simply be blocked off until FREE release of mission)
49. New Raid Every Two Months (This is do-able, right?)
50. See K/D rate while inspecting players (Players can change who can see their K/D)
51. Compensation Items for Maintenance/Server Problems (Example: One Strange Coin for Each hour of inaccessibility)
52. More Areas on Earth Besides Russia (Japan, anyone?)
53. Traveler creates new "mini-planets" for some story-related reason (It could be included in it's waking process? One new planet every four months?)
54. Option to Join Exo Stranger's Side (It seems like we're on opposing sides, anyway.)
55. More Info on the Exo Stranger
56. Actual Survival Mode (Send forth the Hive)
57. Main Story Altering Events (take up to a month or two) (everyone's involved and helps affect the game. I figure this one will need clarification.)
58. 1v1 PvP/Private PvP sessions (challenge other players or teams from other clans)
59. Cross-Platform (Come on, we know you can do this)
60. "Skyrim-Like" Leveling System (Skill Trees and everything. Including Prestige)
61. Dual Wielding Skill (There's nothing I like more)
62. SWORDS!
63. Better Items Purchasable with Marks After Faction Ranks of 3 (We need more incentive)
64. Higher Mark Cap
65. Customize Armour Shaders (purchase and choose the three colours)
66. Assign Armour Shaders to separate pieces of armour. (Ex: Green gloves with red helm)
67. A Hair Stylist/Barber/whatever you would call someone who cosmetically tampers with an Exo's appearance
68. Ability to make purchases/receive bounties and mail in the companion app's Tower map.
69. More storage space in the vault
70. Can carry a larger amount if shaders and ships in inventory
71. Explore (at least some of) the Last City!
72. More (non-preorder exclusive) Ghost cases!
73. Trading items of equal rarity. (This would solve the problems of charitable people handing over exotics to new players and people getting exotics that they can't use for their class)
74. Class items give stat boosts and are upgradable
75. Race-exclusive factions
76. Races have different stats and/or abilities
77. Choose sitting position (female vs. male seems a little sexist)
And that's pretty much all I could think up. Feel free to suggest things for me to add to the community-made list, everyone! Sorry if my random caps bothered you, I had something going and then it got weird. [b][i][u]Poll Question: Do you mainly agree with this list?[/u][/i][/b]
To help get these ideas get more recognition in the community, please bump this and/or my other thread on it (http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/71639728/0/0)! Thank you everyone for the strong support and excellent suggestions on the community-made list!
Click [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/72109161/0/0]here[/url] to see the awesome community-made suggestion list!
EDIT: So, I've been really busy lately with relationship issues, finding a job, schooling, etc. Sorry for neglecting everything lately. I promise to get on this once I'm caught up with my own life. Thanks for understanding! Keep those brilliant ideas coming!

Here's my thoughts: 1-3. Yes. Sparrow races would be awesome, something to add to the Crucible. And I'd also like to see armed Sparrows, which would make the races even more interesting). 5. How about the ability to change things after creation? New hair, new markings. Maybe the ability to give yourself a New Monarchy or Dead orbit tattoo. 16. Yes, offline play would be welcome. reduce the rewards if you must. 26. I'd propose a higher level cap (say 65, giving you 25 "extra" levels), but one that makes you really work for each new level. You see a guy who's Level 65, you know he's hardcore. One possibility LEVEL UP : XP TO ACHIEVE 39-40 : x 40-41 : 3x 41-42 : 5x 43-44 : 7x ..... 64-65 : 51x 33. Instead of a crafting system, an upgraded infusion syste, You can now use lower level items to power up higher ones, you just need a lot of them (say, 5 blue items to get one light increase, or two purple ones). 37. Definitely. Especially ammo recharges. You could boost Heavy cooldown to 10 min. to compensate. 52. I certainly agree about being able to see more of Earth. Japan would be cool, or maybe New York. Put a Cruicible map in an abandoned skyscraper! 67. See above. My addition: RESTORE THE PoE TO RELEVANCE. Very easy to do, just do the following: 1. Move the levels from 28/32/34/35 to 28/37/40/42. 2. Increase the Light Levels on Variks items to 280. 3. Adjust loot levels to compensate. Also, exotics like Lord of Wolves are L300 when you get them.
