I've been playing destiny now for almost 3 years and I must have missed the store that sold weapons that took you through raids or flawless without practice. Seems to, that I've been playing games as long as you as well. The games are still the same, practice makes you better. Now if I game offers an in game store that allows you to buy op weapons and armor then you don't need to practice. I've never seen that here. Furthermore, if you honest with yourself. You would have loved dlc for those old games you speak of. More story to continue playing, we all would have. Instead back then we didn't get more story slowly feed to us to keep you involved and invested into the game. We waited for a full priced sequel. Don't get me wrong, each way has its benefits but don't knock either way.
