How is it possible to have 700,000+ points after 3 hours from the start of the event? I've collected 350,000 and 3 people already have double. How is it physically possible? I ask someone to reveal the secret. Thank you.

Those totals are without turning in rares.
If you turn in rares and get 70-80% more VP from them (which is possible most events with ff/fe event crew) you would be at 255k to 360k an hour.
If you have the intention/motivation, that much VP is not suspect.
Don’t forget that some of the events in STT can be attrition warfare and you pick, in advance, if you’re going to aim for 1st place (or even top 5, 25, 1500 etc). If you know you have say 40hrs you can put in across the entire event, there’s some benefit in stamping your name on the leaderboard early, in order to put others off even trying. I expect the top 25 will wriggle around a lot over the weekend.
These are not my secrets to give away. But I will say that the information you seek exists on the forums already.
So, the lesson for you and anybody else who could benefit is simply this: if you want to learn about how to play STT beyond the basics, participate in the forums often. Read threads, ask questions, engage with people, and take notes. Take a lot of notes.
I believe engaging with people is the most crucial step however, because the more you contribute, the more people will want to help you.
You are living proof as you are very well

I noticed that prefarming galaxy event items can make the start of a galaxy event much more efficient.
There also was the person who, about a week ago, chronicled how he cheated, although I’m pretty sure he didn’t realize he was outing himself. If he did I don’t think he would have posted a link for all to see
It may be awkward, but it’s direct. If I have a question regarding “Jed’s” game play, I’ll ask Jed to explain. If nothing satisfactory comes out of that attempt, then contact customer service. What I don’t do, is come into the Forums with innuendo.
The only thing more monotonous than tapping for hours would be watching it
I can tell you, my highest total was about 8.5 million. I worked overnight at the time, 12 hour shifts. Thursday and Friday night I say at my desk for all 12 of those hours tapping. Thursday afternoon, maybe three hours straight. Friday as well. Saturday and Sunday I got in maybe of 6 hours during both of those days. At night before I went to sleep, three hours each night and on Monday morning I was up at 7 and tapped til it was over at 11. Those are estimates but pretty accurate. So that comes to what, about 50 hours? I know Paladin did his 13 million quicker but I feel like he had more items and I did more actual mission runs.
Ivan's method for top 5:
1 - Purchase a comic shop
2 - Pace around store whilst tapping buttons. Exercise!
3 - Every time someone comes in the store is a chance to rest your fingers and avoid tendonitis.
4 - Do not cry in shame when you realize you've down 3 straight days of no work.
Oh, I wouldn't watch the whole thing in its entirety! There'd be a lot of skipping around.
If I did it, I'd overdub the entire video with an obnoxious song like the Kars 4 Kids jingle or Baby Shark on endles loop, but I'd also talk the entire time about strategy to force people to keep their speakers on.
To answer your question, some ppl keep there gameplay strategy a secret to have the advantage. Veteran players have learned alot of strategy. Pre-farming the most common items, hoarding or buying chron pks, and sleep deprivation can explain alot of this. I havent done the math, i expect DB to keep an eye on that to be sure everyone has a fair experience.
I certainly would not msg in game other players. That can cause more problems than its worth.
Good luck to you...learning strategy, compete against yourself, the goal to do better each event on your own score usually works and is self satisfying.
I wouldn’t message anyone either. Being the recipient of such messages I can tell you it’s intrusive and unwelcome to be asked questions, especially about what resources I have left
Baaaaaaby Shark too too doo roo doo doo... 🤣
That would be hilarious.
I don't know what would be worse. 20 hours of this or watching 20 hours of tapping. Hmmm.... I know..... both. 🤣
The insults let you know when you’ve really arrived on the scene. I was told once I wasn’t even good enough to compete with someone’s second account.
Do it. After you've punished yourself with a weekend of tedium you'll be able to handle anything.
And, my reference to PMing people in the leaderboard is meant to be uncomfortable and evaluate a concern before acting. I, for one, have never PMed anyone in the leaderboards in relation to this topic, then again, I haven’t taken issue with any scores. If I ever did think something was fishy, then CS is there to contact, not the Forums. And as you point out, those people at DB ought to be looking for improper game play anyways.
If you want to ask about strategy on the Forums...great! It is an excellent medium for that and there are some very experienced players willing to help. There are already numerous posts by players in various threads that do offer strategy on how to do well in each event style. However, the OP needs to be more clear in tone and content. Otherwise, with the beginning statements coupled with the truth that information already exists out there on how to do well during events, people will interpret it as innuendo for cheating. Whether that is the intention or not, with how the OP is written, don’t be amazed that people come to that conclusion.
It is not my intention to stir the pot, but as has been pointed out, we have seen our fair share of cheating threads. It just gets under my skin.
I am in lockstep with @SoupKitchen Riker, and my previous comments in this thread reflect that.
