Ignoring most of Kirbyna's whining for obvious reasons, there's just one striking thing about all this: it illustrates perfectly how utterly pointless most of the game is. You can literally come out of nowhere, throw a truckloads of money and time at it and bam... you're on top of the rankings. "Leveling" and "progress" are entirely optional.

What do you really need for ranking? Cards? Just pay for any and all kinds of summons; if you invest enough cash, you'll get a FAWK team easily. Unit cost? Just pop some spare change into the +80 from the shop and you're good to go. Battle points? Not really needed anymore, since first attack on FAWs is free. That, and you can always just throw some cash at swords. Soldiers and arcanas? If you're going for top 1, you'll get enough cards to cash / medal to cover your whole team in a single day. Senders? If you're part of a sharing alliance, you're half way to success. The comrade limit at lower levels does require better comrade management, but if you're in a ranking alliance, they will feed you engouh so that you won't have time for 100 others anyway.

That's pretty much it. If you have all that, you're good to go. Of course, you still need to play close to 24/7 to get into the top 10, but that's true regardless of levels. And really, this is what differentiates the top rankers from the rest; they are willing to do the same thing over and over and over and over again to such an extent.

As Xninebreaker said it already, the guy's title card had only been available this May. Given that he's in a high profile alliance, it's almost certain to be an alt made at that time to feed FAWs to the members. His owner is probably taking the alt to the top of the rankings for the sake of fun / attention / mockery.
