Yep that's the only possible explanation. No others could conceivably exist. Opinions based on Bungie's business practices or the internal integrity of a game's leveling system are concepts both foreign and irrelevant to people who oppose these micro-transactions.
I've been saying it all along: Destiny just isn't enough like Candy Crush. The real question is: when can I start harassing my friends on Facebook via an in game feature?

Isn't that what the Refer A Friend quest is supposed to get you to do?....

Yes, but it doesn't go far enough! There needs to be a link directly between all your social media accounts and destiny. And the more people you guilt/coerce into playing that day via the in game social media function the better your rng. If you don't get any people to play that day then you either get a penalty to your rng or you have to pay to keep it at what it is now. Or idk in game popup ads that try to convince you to buy silver. Hope Bungie sees this! (I just want to see the world burn)
