Yes, yet a resounding no. (Destiny)

As long as this stuff is 100% optional, 100% cosmetic, then what's the harm?

The harm is that now instead of focusing on big, fun, tightly integrated game changing releases like The Taken King, the focus will be on free story missions that will not hit a critical mass to be interesting. There is a bigger picture.

This has merit, but is thin on its merit. Don't get too hyped up over what ifs. We don't know the bigger picture of Year Two yet.
