A complete redesign? (Destiny)

I've said it before, multiple times, but I wish Destiny was more like Borderlands in it's structure. Maybe it's because that's what I was expecting from the first time Destiny announced and it's just been stuck in my mind since then.

Basically, I want Destiny to be a bit more traditional in it's RPG structure. I want NPCs to actually inhabit all the play spaces, where we can encounter random quests, or maybe a small Guardian outpost with NPCs as a hub for vendors and quests on different worlds.

I don't actually know how to accomplish this, and I'm not sure it's possible with the way Destiny currently is (and if they're planning on sticking with that). My version would be much less dependent on having to return to the Tower. I'm not sure what they would have to do for the way the game currently handles matchmaking into PvE areas. I don't know if they could make it more seamless. Ideally, I'd want to not have to return to orbit after every mission, patrol, strike, etc. I'd love to actually just inhabit the world and be able to move seamlessly from one thing to another (so long as those things were on the same planet, obviously).
