They practically are, as of today. (Destiny)

Assuming you did Eris' bounties every day except those 2-3 when PSN was down, you should be rank 4 today even if you main a Titan. If you run a Warlock or Hunter, or used the bounty duplication glitch/exploit (shame on you) you probably hit that point days or even weeks ago.

So now you can just convert all those Energy into Shards.

Admittedly it took a month, but unless you've been very lucky you probably cant get more than 2 characters to 32 yet anyway, and you still wont have enough shards/energy combined to level all 3, so you've plenty of time to rank up Eris if you missed a few days.
