Whales? Yes. Hackers? Unlikely if you accuse them based on their scores alone. If you play for like 10 hours everyday with seemingly infinite fuel, you'd get that Top 1 with average performance. That's from a simple math. That said, especially with x6 Forced Sorties going around weekends, Top 200 is really an easy route for those who spend a lot of money on the game. There are really people who can spend that much on any game. So, unless you're talking about having to spend more than 18 hours per day to get certain total points, 10 hours is the norm for those who only play to end a day. There are people like that as well.
