I think you hit the nail on the head. The relationships and requirement of a good working team make this game great. There is no other game that rewards people who work together. Call of Duty, Halo, and Battlefield are the other FPS shooters that are current, and its just game after game. You have have some pretty amazing moments in those, but you can in destiny as well. You can't play through a tournament every weekend on those games, for rewards to show off. I love the raids in Destiny, but I am almost tired of Oryx. I just do it for the gear, and the friends. Not because i want to. I love trials because its a challenge you can't roll through the numbers on. And if you put forth the time and effort, you will be rewarded in a way that other plays may never be. I am not a gloater, but I like the fact that it is a requirement to go to the lighthouse to get that gear. If everyone could just get everything, this game would be so boring by now.

Edit:

Kind of went of on a rant there. To your initial point, failure is needed. Figuring out the Raid, fighting teeth and nail to the lighthouse, things like this are what make things great. If I went into the lighthouse knowing I could go with my eyes closed, what fun would I have? If I knew I would get every drop my first time through the raid, why would I play again?
