Ouch, those Gold requirements are higher than I'd like. As someone who is just beginning to push into Gold this will set me back a bit. I will need a further 18-9k SPS to earn similar rewards at Gold 3. But I now have a real reason to buy SPS.

Looks like I'll be redirecting income toward SPS.

Overall though, I see this as a positive step to go forward for the ecosystem - will be interesting to see the price of SPS and how these numbers change should we get a sudden movement in SPS price.
