What's investment got to do with it? (Destiny)

Restarting a hard level from the beginning is going to be frustrating no matter what. There was no investment system in Halo 2 but I played it super safe when trying to beat Legendary back in the day. I dislike Nightfall Strikes in Destiny because most of them have been utterly impossible to beat without cheating, and because they largely break Destiny's well tuned gameplay. Not because it was hard to get some experience or a random high level drop.

Simple test: If you magically took away the investment system would Nightfall still be too hard? For me, the answer is yes. Therefore the problem isn't really the investment system.
