play-testing isn't skill based (Destiny)

Just sayin'... as a playtester, most of my job was going through a checklist of things that could break and seeing if I could break it.
Pro teams can be hired, or contracted to come in and wreck house for balance reasons, so I don't know if Bungie has any on retainer to drag onto the stream.
