How?

[Niwashi]

Uh, according to what is shown to me in the game, there is a cap at 50k for my rank... which is currently the highest one attainable. How does one amass close to half a million seals in the space of 7 days... must less over 30 days, the other time period for the "standings," given a 50k cap?

Well, the standings count the total number earned, whereas the cap is on the number you can hold at one time. To earn more than the cap, you just earn some, spend them, earn some more, spend them, earn some more, and so on.

But getting up to the sort of numbers some of those standings show looks way out of my league. I've never had trouble earning plenty (particularly as a crafter/gatherer who often does supply/provisioning missions), and am often capped on them, but I've never earned the sort that gets into those GC standings.
