Losing the plot. (Destiny)

I am sure it is technically possible. However, to do that you're creating at least two instances of every zone, and dividing the available public population for those zones.

That means that new players or new characters who begin later in the expansion's lifetime will see less populated areas because of missions they haven't cleared.

I'd seriously question how many people would actually care about that. I certainly wouldn't. I can think of less than a handful of instances where interacting with other random people in patrol added anything fun or interesting to my gameplay. I think Destiny could get rid of that system completely and it'd honestly be a much better game for it. It is neat to see other people zooming around, but that's all it is. I don't personally think it's really worth all the apparent costs of having that system.

While I largely agree, my personal hope would be for Bungie to find more ways to make the "public" aspects of the game more compelling, rather than ditch them. Seeing other players on Patrol rarely leads to cool experiences, but when it does, those are the magical little moments that help make Destiny something special. I want more of that :)
