And that's a problem. (Destiny)

They're not really offering many new interesting challenging mechanics, because they can't with the current system. Adding super challenging mechanics or encounters plus no revives would be too much, so most of the difficulty is artificial in that the main focus is just not dying. It discourages interesting play and instead puts the emphasis on safe play, which is basically never as fun. Destiny is at its best when everything is FUBAR and the team is scrambling to recover and manages to come out the other side. No revives essentially makes that impossible.
