I agree with you the loss mechanic sucks I enjoy playing Destiny but I’m a casual player and don’t enjoy playing lots and lots of PvP I think a better way of doing this quest would have been to set a large kill count without losing progression upon death this would satisfy both PvP and PvE players then later to get a catalyst for the gun make it a quest that requires you to get kills and death sets you back at least that would be a choice for those who want to grind
