The raids in Destiny are the exact same thing. They require absolute cooperation amongst 6 people to complete, bar none. Heck you can't even open up the door to the raid area without 6 people co-operating and standing on different plates, let alone fighting bosses or figuring out the puzzles inside. In fact, Destiny's best gear, which are raid gear and exotics come from completing various parts of the raid. Since everyone is contributing significantly to complete the raid (or else you couldn't even progress within it), loot drops are well earned overall. Plus the drops are more generous there, especially with the new raid. I have not seen anyone really complain about the raids. They are mad fun. It's just the boring SP missions that suck.

Also Destiny does have a surefire way of getting the best gear, i.e. exotics. It is through the vendor Xur who comes every weekend. Sure what he sells is random and you may not get exactly what you want every week, but he will sell guaranteed exotic gear and guns every week. He has sold almost every exotic gun in the game in the past three months of visits, so if you visited him every Friday you would have almost every exotic gun in the game apart from the PS exclusives, which aren't sold by him for some reason.

Fridays and Saturdays, which are days he is available have famously become known as Xursdays amongst Destiny fans. These days are filled with nothing but anticipation and fun.

People's complain with Destiny was that even though you preformed wayyyy better than your teammates, they could get wayyyy better loot than you. Say you got 20 kills and the other guy only 2, yet the latter got a legendary weapon and you got nothing. 

I never played Wow for more than an hour, but from what I understand when raiding, people have to work together and 1 person's mistake can cost everyone the battle (that might be an exaggeration, but correct be if I'm wrong on this). That is not really the case on Destiny because of the FPS nature. In Wow every player focuses on a single enemy, in Destiny there are hordes of enemies (as well as a boss) and in the end, the game gives you a score, when you see that your score is higher than the other players and yet you didn't get anything, is natural to get pissed off. This doesn't mean that Destiny doesn't have teamwork like Wow does, but actually knowing by numbers that you did better than the other players and got nothing, imo, is a flawed game design. People probably wouldn't have complain if the score tab was removed altogether.

As far as I know, your score means absolutely nothing on Destiny's loot system.

I don't know about some of that with Destiny but WoW raids are long and complex, often with multiple enemies in a boss fight where people have to take on different assignments.  Yeah, one person can blow a raid but you often have undergeared people along who contribute very little--which is fine, of course, as they need better gear to raise their level and you're not going to beat the hardest content until everyone is well-geared.

None of that much matters when getting loot, though.  That dagger I was talking about, Perdition's Blade, the one time I saw it drop, I was the second best Rogue in our guild in terms of DPS but it ended up going to a scrub who quit the guild the next week.  It was like being kicked in the chest.

You're probably right about the score, though.  In WoW, the game didn't tell you anything, you had to install third-party DPS programs to compare your numbers to others.  That's probably the best way.

I don´t know if you read the full article, but the Xur randoness and timely aperance is one of the complains.

And can´t you see that he is flatout a way to exploit players, frorcing them to log every weekend for a chance of geting a better weapon or a weapon of your liking? 

Its funny, the same people that were against Microsoft's always online feature are the same people that support this game requiring an internet connection for no reason.  I guess when Microsoft tries to do it its wrong, when Bungie/Activision try people eat it up. 

That's because it is an MMO. A heavily stripped down MMO, but an MMO none the less.

I'm guessing point 4 is directly addressing the lack of common MMO features.
