Well, yeah, that happens when you don't stick with the group and take aggro as a squishy blaster (someone else, I have no blaster over level 24). I use my Ill/Emp controller so I know better, though I've come very close to getting squashed by Aeon recently. I die when someone usually pulls an ambush into me (hint: melee shouldn't hide behind a controller).

It's when people aren't paying attention and die during the 'easy parts'. I was on a MoITF attempt. At all the 'hard parts' people paid attention. AFTER we defeated Romulus and had to round up another 20 Cimerorans, someone died.

points to you sir
This is awarding in-game right now.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
...
I'm not sure if to weep or cry of joy.
Weep, cause there was one more badge in my collection that I now must make attempts to and get... and it is another MO badge.
or
Cry of joy due to the same reason; there is a badge I do not have that I can get (besides vet badges).
In any event, its a badge I must get! So thank you for the confirmation of the existance of this badge

I really hate these master badges. I have 2 on my badger after many attempts, and neither is the "tough" one. Now we have another tough one to get.

Man, you people hate challenging, hard-to-get badges, don't you?
"I can't find 7 other decent players. I can't do the slopes, Day jobs take too long to get!" Call a Whaambulance. You'd probably complain about exploration badges if someone hadn't made you a MAP for them. Sheesh. What ever happened to -earning- your rewards?
Granted, at the current moment with the mitos, this badge is going to be really hard to grab, but once that's settled, it should be easy. Or at least not mind-numbingly impossible.

It is more due to the negative feelings generated by a person dieing a few missions in. Most people are decent, but there are a few that get rather mean when a Mo fails.

Some jokes are fine, some minor wise cracks are fine....but it when it turns into bashing the other player especially if it was out of their control, ie: standing away from a cyst in mish 2 of the ITF so as not to be caught in the explosion only to have the ambush SPAWN ON TOP OF YOU.......well one can't really blame that person for dying.....but some primadonnas still have tried.

Day jobs: eh 21 days is a bit much but that is a dead horse.
Map badges: meh I found the bulk of the new ones in beta same as many others.
New Mo badge: yuck.
I would rather face an army of Kronos Titans with my squishiest character stripped of all enhancers and under full debuff then seek a new Mo badge.

Yep, sometimes just flying around the zones doing some fun exploration is a blast. Nice break from all the missions and TF's some times.

The problem with these badges is that they are too subject to random nonsense. Someone DCs and comes back dead. An ambush materializes on a squishy. The Arachnos flyer nukes a scrapper and he dies instantly. The team lacks the one crucial AT or powerset to make it work.
I've failed master attempts because of all these situations. In fact, out of the dozens of attempts, I have succeeded twice, and neither of those is the MoSTF. That one eludes me, and frankly it's gotten tiring to even try. It's always something. It's always something near the end of the effort. There's too much luck involved to make it "enjoyable". I'm not really looking forward to another one.

Hot dog! I know what I'm working on next! <slips on her Wonder Woman panties>
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: The folks are Guardian are awesome, because if a MO fails, oh well, **** happens. If it fails in the first mission, restart. Otherwise, push on, and try again some other time.
Though I did once get on a team that had no idea how to set up a MO... They thought just setting No Deaths would do it, despite myself and one other person repeatedly telling them it was that, and No Temp Powers. >.<

Anyway, this is why you set up master attempts with friends. While a random crash isn't something most players can avoid, I assure you the other situations you mentioned are well within the realm of avoidance.
Ambush: have people stick close together and be alert. When an ambush spawns, it takes them 1-2 seconds to realize "hey, there's enemies here!" and attack. That's enough time for most people to pop inspirations and brace for the attack.
Have the tank taunt the flier; a scrapper shouldn't be able to steal agro.
As for missing a specific power or set: make sure you recruit people with the sets and powers you need! This is the easiest pitfall to avoid. Get your stone tank with Granite, get your empath with auras, get your bubbler and your dark and rad and whatever else you think you need. If you take time recruiting the people you need, you can make things a lot easier in the long run.
