I agree with a lot of what you noted - I use the phrase "so much unrealized potential". And there are still quite a few good things about this game - and there are certainly many, many other areas that require drastic improvement. And hopefully, they will make such improvements in the future - until then, "Alas, Destiny"...
But whatever....
What I did was finally just put the game down and started playing something else (Fallout 4).
I'm of the mind that the biggest statement you can make to Bungie regarding their game is to simply not play it. I'm sure they're noticing the drop-off in players. This is mainly due to a lot of competition now. Which is a good thing because it forces Bungie to evolve. For a long while now, they have had the biggest player-base because there were so fewer games to play - now, if they want to keep Destiny strong - they will have to improve it.
Unless, of course, people continue to play it - which, strangely enough, are the same people who will rant and rave in the forums about how broken it is.
I'm the first to admit - Destiny and I had quite the dalliance - but alas, I must be moving on now - but not without some regret. Hopefully, they will improve - albeit, it will never be to everyone's satisfaction because this is an impossible feat because, to put it very simply, you can't please everyone - but there are some major areas that require improvement (Broken RNG, sketchy PvP, and last, but certainly not least, the infusing system).
So, in closing, I would say simply - Don't play - play something else and hope they get their heads out of their a$$es.
Edit - Oh, and I almost forgot - 17 days - #DestinySober

Awesome! Quite invigorating isn't it? I'm actually enjoying gaming again... It was pretty funny though, one of my friends mentioned raiding again - And no joke - I actually felt physically sick to the stomach....to me, that was a good sign I"m over it....
