Perma death theory. What do you think?
So, how come some guardians have died permanently while we get revived over and over? My theory is that the ghosts revive us using light the traveller is collecting while trying to heal itself. So, when we die at a slow rate, 1 or 2 here and there it is able to keep up, but during large battles like six fronts, twilight gap, and the assault on the moon, where guardians are dying in droves it cannot keep up. Maybe if your not revived soon enough you die permantly.
This does not account for the original raid parties of vog and crota. The vog party was erased from time. My theory doesnt account for why eris's raid team could not be revived. Maybe their were extenuating circumstances? What do you think?

The reason we keep getting revived is because when we wipe we get to act like it never happened (because perma-death would suck in Destiny) and because our Ghost cant get destroyed. As far as the lore is concerned Ghosts can die, and if they do the next time their guardian dies they die for good. There are also locations, the "Darkness Zones" you find in-game are places where the Light is too weak and/or the Darkness is too strong for ghosts to generate sufficient Light to revive their guardian without an infusion of light from another guardian.
