What's the deal with Destiny?

Been playing on my new PS4. They have a free trial in the lead up to the new xpac release. It was pretty fun, but I've hit the cap at level 7 for the trial.
I noticed some level 40 players running around in the same quest area as me. Do they re-use the same areas over and over? Is it like Skyforge where you keep leveling and going back to the Cosmodrome? That get's boring for me after a while. But I don't know enough about the game since I only made it to level 7.
Can you play solo in the higher level quests or is there a lot of pressure to group for advancement?
I'm just looking for a casual-friendly console mmo experience. The shooter is fun. I like the graphics and the everything runs really well. Anyone else playing this?

Philosophy of MMO Game Design
1. The reason level 40s are in the same area, is you do go back to zones for quests but they are in a different part of the map. Also, they could be gathering different materials etc.
2. As far as grouping content, I hit the cap and didn't group often at all. I did all of the storyline content with no problems. The game does a good job of matchmaking for Strikes which are 3 man "dungeons", so there isn't really a need to LFG on websites etc. HOWEVER, there is a few things that you can't use the matchmaking for. The few raids in the game don't have it, there's also a hardcore PVP mode that you can't do it in, also Nightfalls don't have them so you'll need to get a group manually together for that.

When someone does something so utterly moronic that it kills your brain cells at the very thought of it.
I wouldn't listen to this guy he has no idea what he is talking about and you can buy destiny with every expansion. Destiny: The Collection is $60 USD and has every expansion.
Raids/strikes require you to have a certain light level but this is easily obtained.
PvP in the Iron Banner can but done without having the best equipment it's just harder.
90% of the game was soloable until The Taken King expansion.
The Collection isn't very expensive. I was just looking for something like an MMO-light in a shooter version. I have my PC games for when I want to focus and communicate, etc. The console games are for when I want to sit in my recliner and play.
Any other MMO shooters on PS4 anyone can recommend?
Pathetic response.
Sub par graphics for a game that was made for consoles, the graphics are fine.
Enjoy your PC port lol.

I would suggest this was purposeful but backfired. Companies want you on their forums, their site, they want a piece of you. Steam is the master of that and gaming companies hate it. Of course if you are an independent Steam is superb.
Destiny was supposed to be the next great thing, we were all supposed to be playing it, all supposed to be joining the Bungee club. It was not that good, it did not happen.
Yes, I was just going back and forth between earth and the tower.
It was pretty fun to just jump on and shoot some stuff. It would be cool if it was like an online Halo.
-The game can be soloed like 95%. There's also some high end content which gives top lvl gear that has an ingame group finder(Iron Banner, Prison of Elders etc.) The few things that you need to manually find a group in order to complete them are the most 'hardcore', like raids, the weekly nightfall strike and Trials of Osiris(an elimination type pvp event that runs every weekend).
-If you're looking for a 'casual shooter mmo' i think you found the right place. The game is extremely fun and arguably the only and by default best game of it's kind. The only other game that comes close is The Division but i can't comment on that since i haven't played it.
-So I suggest you give it a try. Be warned tho that the game's loot/reward system is almost entirely based on rng so be prepared for a lot of frustrations.
I hope i helped a bit. Cheers!
You will find yourself returning to known zones as you play along. At the same time, it's not a game where you repeat the same mission 20 times. It is more that instead of spending 20 hours on Earth, you spend 5, then 5 somewhere else, then 5 back on Earth.
You also don't return to all the areas. Some places are a one time visit. It's the Hub places you spawn into that you will see a couple of times.
60fps graphics.
Hype alone doesn't sell 30m in its first year. Only 8M or so its its first 3 months as well so it wasn't day 1 hype that sold the game.
No LFG tool for some stuff. And Bungee have said they are not adding one. Some people don't like this. Others regard LFG tools as a thing of evil of course.
Communication. The standard console communication has always been there. Stuff was added / tweaked based on feedback post launch - nearly two years ago now. (The big issue was the use of a megaserver.) Not an issue these days - check out Bungee's site.
If you haven't already check out some vids and so on to make sure you like the style etc. In summary though great game that will give many hours of fun. You will get bored at some point as in all games but there is a lot there for the combo pack price.
This is why you will always see a variety of different level players in various zones which are normally used for lower level players leveling up via their story arc.
