Cheat or bug?

I see that in QB too, and I've always wondered how someone earns 200-400 ribbons in less than an hour. With my fastest deck, making quick matches, and just playing my hand without reordering, I can MAYBE get 80-100. Ive suspected for a while there are some cheaters out there. Maybe using some separate app that accelerates the gameplay somehow. I don't know, I'm no techie. But yes, I would love to know how this is even physically possible, or if there is some secret to it.
If not cheating, then my only logical theory is that they're using koth lvl 40-49. Lower health pool and faster mana production could possibly enable someone to play two matches in the time it takes a lvl 60 to play one match. They'd then be earning 8 ribbons for every 6 of mine. 12 to my six if they can squeeze in a third battle. But even that's a stretch if they have 550 ribbons 56 minutes after the QB started.
Anybody have an explanation or theory, I'm all ears.

I have won several QB on my own without sharing an account. We watch QB very closely. If someone was cheating we'd know it. No evidence of this has been seen by our team. You can win, you just have to stay up all night for 6+ hours.

its near impossible to be 1st in QB on your own
I can only imagine that winners of QB events are sharing their account between 2-3 people

I'm pretty sure some people have cheated at quick battle. Back near the start of the game I was in a early bracket weekend quick battle where 1st place had 3000 points when I was in 2nd place with 1500ish. It's probably not as widespread as you're describing though.

It is very possible to win at quick battle if you join near the start of a bracket and don't have cheaters. You just have to

A) Be fast
Be dedicated to play as much as you can before the QB ends
C) Be lucky enough that there isn't a faster/more dedicated or cheating player in your bracket.

Here's the cheater report link:

You can't play concurrent games on multiple devices with the same account.

There are some extremely fast players. I know people who can do 150-162 ribbons in an hour after the most recent speed-ups.

We watch QB very closely too to make sure there is no cheating. I'm not the fastest, but I'm fairly fast. Rootbreaker said it best:

I sometimes take screenshots of the QB rankings and plot out peoples rates when something seems fishy, but haven't seen anything too suspicious for a long time.
