You definitely want friends to play with. The new player experience is bad to non-existant so you really want to find help when you're getting started. Check out /r/Destinythegame and be liberal in using online guides. PM me if you have questions.
No, it's still a super grindy waste of time skinner box.
The story is a lot better though. We just had a year long arc where the Guardians find common ground with the Fallen and Cabal against the Vex and Hive.
And the gameplay has improved. This year's seasonal events have been really cool, with a lot more depth, variety, and story integration than previous years.
So if you're willing to put up with the MMO skinner box grind it's improved a lot. If not, stay away!
Not story based really but Destiny 2 is great if you have friends to play with.

I used to be a super hardcore destiny 1 player, but honestly the game was like an abusive relationship.
Is it better now that they were able to ditch their publisher and retain development?
Uhh...
