A very underutilized resource (Destiny)

Because players could organize controlled PvP environments and then test anything they wanted to find weapon stats, damage values, how much armor that new helmet really gives, etc..

This would be a big step towards opening up that "conversation" between the players and Bungie.

Right now, the conversation is a lot like "Hey Bungie, fix this broken raid!" "Okay, we've added more random elements and bugs."

Why wouldn't Bungie want to let the community identify glitches or broken mechanics for them in PvP, much the same way that the player base found all those raid bugs?

Alternatively, what might accurate metric analysis mean for crucible? Further discussion points.
