So my biggest issue with Destiny was you blew through the content pretty quickly and had a grind end game left. The PVP content bored me and grinding the same content over and over got old really quick.
Anthem may have a different gear system, but it sounds a lot like Destiny as far as max level content.
So my question would be this; If you removed the repetition of content from this game (the end game), would you feel like you got a full price games worth of time/enjoyment from what was left (the Level 1 to 30 content)?
They for sure focus alot more on the story of the game. So i think its more expanded. Letter from Casey Hudson also today.

We knew there would be challenges. People are skeptical of the idea of story in an online game, and for good reason. Often, the nature of online multiplayer games tends to fight story agency and interesting character interactions. And, even in the best online games, it's easy to lose interest or run out of things to do when your friends aren't online.
We designed Anthem to address these design challenges by trying something new and different. With Anthem, we aim to integrate the fun of multiplayer missions with your friends, and single-player story agency and characters, into a connected narrative experience – set in a world designed to be always changing, and where anything is possible. The result is an intentionally unique structure which is fundamental to Anthem's design and even the universe it's set in.
Anthem will launch with a ton of content, including a substantial main story that introduces you to the world and its characters. But there's still a missing ingredient that we haven't been able to test Anthem with:
you. So, over the next month as you start to have opportunities to try what we've created, I ask you to keep one thing in mind: The launch of Anthem is not the end – it's the beginning of an ongoing story in which
you are a critical element. If there's something you want more of, we can build it. If something isn't right, let us know. And the story itself will unfold over time based on how you play the game. Soon, we will reveal more about our plans for how we intend to support that ongoing stream of content and features."
