Sorry, but I'm still on the fence.

I can appreciate your apprehension. MMOs are one of those terms that draws a strong reaction from gamers.

Have you played Borderlands by any chance? That game has some very MMO-esque archetypes despite it being a singleplayer/co-op game.

I too am curious as to how the gear and such will work. Leveling seems to be the most obvious approach but I wonder if there would be ways around that like having all gear be at the same base damage but having secondary effects that make it more or less valuable.

Regardless, one of the core pillars Bungie expressed to IGN was that each time you play the game it should bring something new. Necessity to grind to get the best gear is basically the anti-thesis of that so I wouldn't be so quick to assume that's the route they are taking.
