Can we talk about these players "playing" 400+ frontlines matches in a week?

So looking at the standings for frontlines and matches played in a week the number of matches played by the top ranks has doubled or more compared to a few weeks ago before stormblood. The average top before was in the 200-300 matches range and now it's 400-600. While it's true that queue times being faster is one of the factors for how many matches you can get in during a week. The question remains: is it even physically possible to play that many matches in a week?

I enjoy pvp a lot and had almost 100 matches last week myself so I can see how 200-300 is possible if you solely play frontlines as I did most of the other content also including pvp. But 400+ seems impossible without "assistance" of some sort. And almost no one high on that list has a victory rate of 30%+.

Well... is it "possible"? The answer is yes.

If you count one match as around 12 minutes, 400 games would be 80 hours worth of playtime. A week has 168 hours - so there's still plenty of time left for food, sleep etc. Even 500 games still leave time for a schedule of sort. There was that one japanese guy that got his 210 Anima done via Gordias in less than a week so... the no-lifing can be strong.

Is it likely? Well, no. The likely explanation is bots, but I think that's obvious.

Probably bots, but if you play nothing but frontlines all day every day then yes, playing 30-40 orso a day maybe distinctly possible.

400 is doable if you no-life it, but upwards of around 600 is almost certainly a botter unless the average match length is shorter than the 13 minutes or so I believe it to be. Between that and queues, short though they may be, you wouldn't have time left for sleep.

It's more than likely bots.
