I really could care less about this, but the timing of this boost coincides directly with Christmas. People will without a doubt buy this to get ahead when starting fresh to the game in order to be able to get to end game (or lack thereof) content faster. Yes it may lead to worse things, but in all honesty it's quite a smart business practice. The destiny ship is slowly sinking so they're going to get as much revenue as fast as possible until the next instalment rears its head.
