If destiny focusses on tradition, I'll be disappointed (Destiny)

I don't *want* traditional competitive multiplayer modes. I don't *want* to go off into some walled garden where I rehash the battles I fought in Halo, but with more varied systemic complexity and weapons. I want destiny to be about the challenge of organizing and playing with people in a context with more meaning.

While I don't necessarily want a single battle in destiny to cost over 200,000 dollars I do want something more than it just a bit of currency in some metagame.

I want the entire context of PVP in Destiny to be unmoored from the expectations of Halo. I want battles to be over things in the world that are more than a rank number. I want PVP to have more meaning in Destiny's social systems.

Unfortunately, the hints Bungie has dropped lead me to believe the PVP is going to follow the traditional path. I'd love to be proved wrong, but the information we have so far points the other way.
