Proposal - What if... (Destiny)

What if Destiny's main campaign did not require you to grind at all? What if all the leveling up forcefully required (and we all know there will be, based on the alpha) is naturally done as you progress through the campaign? Sure, there'd be a lot less incentive for people to grind, but grinding would obviously make things easier. Would that still make the investment system broken?

This is how Deus Ex is designed. As you play through the story, you get exp you can use to invest in character skills. Destiny could similarly have you learn a new skill or level up after completing a mission, but only the first time you do. If you replay, you get nothing. That type of system would not be offensive at all, and could still preserve the Guardian building aspect of the game.
