They are linked imo. From what I can see, Bungie mainly seems to be focusing on pushing Eververse in this game, which has resulted in a drop in quality across the board, for example from good staff leaving or other areas being under-resourced. This recent issue with the Three of Coins is one of many that occurs while Bungie continue to promote the cash shop. Bungie don't need to focus on bugs and quality testing if only a few players bankrole them through gambling in Eververse. IMO, without Eververse it would be essential for Bungie to not have these problems and fix them quickly when they do. Instead we get, "Yeah, f*** you guys, maybe Jan 2018 they'll be a fix." With no cash shop that attitude would not be possible. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding too!
