But the other rewards stay the same? What I mean is that the number of soulbound rewards earned in gold stays the same and SPS is the only one getting hit or everything will get hit?
aka you're only gold by name and a silver with a massive SPS stake earns more than you even if you're gold or diamond?
The drop rates in your chests and all the associated multipliers that go with them would stay the same, but being that the staked SPS multiplier is applied to your RP, you'd likely be earning a lot less chests. It's kind of like playing under leveled or starter cards and incurring the penalty for those. Same type of mechanic, alternatively named penalty.
As far as comparing ranked SPS earnings between Silver with a massive stake and Gold or Diamond with a 1x multiplier, I have a reply on here to someone else talking a little about that.

Oh, so for casual players, they now have penalties for #1 using starter, #2 using underleveled cards #3 low sps.
I was actually excited about "Hey I can get higher than gold now without being flood gated by SPS Stake"
While this is true, unless you increase staked SPS, it's like being in Diamond only by name but earning like a bronze player (or worse). This is way worse than I originally understood. Thanks for opening my eyes. !LUV !PIZZA

! help(no space) to get help on Hive. InfoNo problem! Also keep in mind though, this seems like it's going to affect quite a few people in Gold/Diamond/Champ, so with less people playing in those leagues, the SPS rewards for ranked play might increase. In that case, you might want to look into renting some SPS. I'm not sure what the current prices are, but I've heard it's fairly cheap. For now.
Thanks for the tokens!
