I've killed Oryx maybe 5 or 6 times, overall... Why?
Because [b]people[/b] are whiny, sucky, rage-quitting bitches.
This isn't a complaint against Bungie, or against Destiny, or against the Oryx Battle, itself. WHY do people rage-quit if their team doesn't get the Oryx part of the raid done PERFECTLY in the first 1 or 2 tries?
"Oh, we had to wipe twice. I'm gonna leave the party/fire-team without saying anything because I can't handle my own rage." Seriously, grow the -blam!- up, people. All it takes is one or two people to go into whiney Rage-Bitch-Rage-Quit mode to ruin a Raid for the entire team. Just suck it up and keep trying. Jesus-Tapdancing-Christ.
I'm really proud to say I've NEVER Rage-Quit on a team in a Raid; not Vault of Glass, not Crota's End, not King's Fall. If anyone wants a Raid Party of non-rage-quitters, I'm definitely down. I'll stick it out 'till the end, as long as I have the time of day.

After a couple of tries it's usually pretty obvious if a pickup team isn't going to make it. I may have a couple of hours for a raid, but I'm not good enough to carry players who aren't listening. Can't spend forever banging my head against a boss in the same boring room. Sure they might power through after dozens of attempts, I simply don't have the wherewithal for that. I've got better things to do, and nobody's going to guilt tripe into hanging around with a poor team. The difficulty spikes a fair bit on the last encounters of the raids so that's where you'll most likely get stuck.
