Is it worth buying Destiny? (Destiny)

When the game first came out, I played through the "story" (if you could call it that) using a borrowed copy of the game. I didn't purchase the game at the time because I'm of the belief the best way to vote is with one's wallet.

Things seem to have improved since launch and it seems closer to being a complete game now. Is Destiny worth purchasing this late in time, keeping in mind I've already played the OG story? I hear a lot of year-one content is obsolete now, due to higher light levels and whatnot. Will things "make sense" or has some of the explanatory content (what little there was to begin with) been made obsolete? How many raids are still worthwhile? On what other sorts of things will I be missing out? Apparently, I already missed sparrow racing. :(

Also, do we know yet if there will be any more paid DLC (aside from microtransactions)? It's already been demonstrated that not purchasing the paid DLC makes the existing content more or less pointless; I don't want to be in the position of deciding between shelling out more money and giving up the game.

I realize this is a fan forum, so there's bound to be some bias, but I'm still hoping to get some insight. Thanks.

I would say right now, that it is not. The story content added by DLC isn't anything spectacular and is woefully short.

The raids and strikes are still fun, but get repetitive fast.

You didn't mention PvP, so I'm not sure if you have any interest in it but that has a little more life in it.

YMMV of course.

I expect the next actual game to be better.
