Explore (Destiny)

I think my biggest disappointment with explore mode is that there is nothing of consequence to discover. You can't explore the terrain beyond Bungie's enclosed play pen, you can't stumble upon anything story relevant, and the side missions are formulaic, repetitive, and devoid of any sense of weight. So you can discover loot chests and dead ghosts, but honestly... So what? It feels empty. It's like, "You found a dead ghost, here's a cookie!" I have no reason to care. I have no incentive to spend time looking for them.

Exploration should be about discovery and surprise. You shouldn't walk into explore mode with a particular goal in mind. That just makes it feel smaller. "Finding the ghosts" is boring as hell. I want to be surprised!
