Everyone should know by now that one death on any part of the hard raid causes issues. Some small some big. If you can't stay alive then get out and gear up on normal.
318+ isn't necessarily luck either. With drops as shitty as they are it shows that the person grinded the crap out of the raid and probably, not always, but probably is more experienced than lesser people.

all parts of the raid can be 5 manned. is it easier with 6, of course, but the raid is not difficult

Yes they can be but if you cant pull your weight dont be disappointed when you are kicked to orbit. Why should a 310 or below get a 320 drop when they were dead almost that entire section. And the people alive get 301 drops. Destiny should only reward loot to players alive at the end of the encounter

I agree. When there are 6, the load is distributed. When one goes down everyone has to pick up the slack. Annoying but not necessarily difficult.
