By new hope, what I meant was:

Destiny was going to be the game that did everything Legion could ever hope to do. And do it better, on console, before Legion ever even got the greenlight.

But Destiny is not that game.

So it is worth making Legion, worth putting effort into the game to make sure that it does launch. Because Legion can be something more than just another "free roam exploration system."

If CCP were to put just a little effort into building simulation into Legion so that the things you find when you go to the planets and the things you do are part of a dynamic and living game world that would be a big step in the right direction. Giving players themselves the tools to interact with and change what other players might potentially find or encounter during a "free roam" would be another step in the right direction for project legion.

It doesn't have to be overly elaborate or complex. CCP do not need to create a unique drone language for rogue drones that players can learn so that they can make treasure maps when they intercept and translate rogue drone communications. Even introducing something like random enemy spawns with random loot locations would be a start. Or, if there is a static source that you can reliably go to to find some loot, there should be a damn good and well thought out reason for it to be like that. Something other than, "Well, it is a game and video games always just have loot chests. That is how we've always done it."

In Destiny all of the enemies re-spawn in the same places in the same numbers every time. And loot chests appear in the same few locations over and over again. It is a fine game mechanic and I have nothing against dungeon crawling or grinding loot or even farming. But it is a game mechanic that is as old as dirt. And Legion can offer players something more dynamic and engaging to do in the sandbox portion of the game that farm treasure chest routes.
