Status bonuses remain unchanged from today (Silver at 25%, Gold 50%, Platinum 100% and Titanium 150%), and will apply across whichever earn option the member selects."

The red words are hugely important in understanding the supposed conundrum. There's zero chance AS is going to be giving a 150% EQM-earning multiplier to Titaniums who decide to earn by distance. Zero.
