Well, I noticed that medal flush as well. Roughly around 1:00PM-2:00PM EST nearly 50 guilds gained around 70k medals on average (40k-100k) to their standings. My current hypothesis is that it could be event ending related, although simultaneous spending of so many medals suggests that all of these guilds are one-person guilds.

The event theory is based on the fact that all seasoned players understand by now that the final stretch of the race for the event marathon standings starts 48 hours before the event end after the major x50 sale is over, so every one who needs to gain more event points would now be trying to raise their guild shop bonuses to beat more map locations.

I do suppose that there could be dev owned accounts in this game, like Knepal, but not on a large scale. Meanwhile I am pretty sure that at a lot of non-dev accounts - on the main server - not so much on nutaku - are also automated or computer controlled. Just look at those 120 gy11 guilds, most of which are still participating in the guild wars and go up in their rankings.
