This game would not exist if 'OFFLINE' was an option (Destiny)

It doesn't have to be an either/or proposition. You know how you fix it? Let us play the goddamn game offline.

It needs critical mass to support public events, strike matchmaking, and the general atmosphere of seeing other guardians in public spaces whether that's the tower or out on Patrol while you're playing through the story.

If a significant portion of players were playing offline, it would affect that. By how much and to what extent is definitely debatable, but I believe that at that point, it would no longer be Destiny. It'd be some barren single player game that you could sometimes play co-op with.
