A new kind of whale

I’m sure we’re all seeing it in events, but there are so many players now whose hands and trophy count are completely at odds. The issue over prize boards and the sustainability of F2P and P2P is underlined by these kinds of players, who are clearly spending heavily in order to boost their garage. Two in my Daily bracket today:
Less than 12,000 trophies, but a 969 P1 (so has been playing for at least the last 11 months), a 966 12C, and 969 GT.
969 Veyron, 969 650S, 969 SCG, and again less than 12,000 trophies.
I can’t begin to imagine how much money they are throwing at this to have enough Epic food to max so many legendaries. I’ve got over 40,000 trophies, and in 18 months of playing haven’t maxed one single Legendary. Given their low trophy count they must only be playing the main prize car events, and avoiding anything else that might boost their trophies.
If prize boards remain at their current levels, we might as well all pack up, as players like this will just buy their way to every prize car.

This is a random sample as i just entered the daily and was greeted with this and better. Iirc finals with prizecars reward 1100 trophys alone, so pretty good to have at least these two with just 7k.
Maybe “whale-bots”?
I've definitely pumped some money into this game and at 48K trophies and more than a year under my belt, only one maxed S to show for it.
Something is amiss...
Trophy count vs garage. But yeah, prize board nerfing solves one part of the problem, and masses of specific CFs is the other part of the solution.
We should have a competition to see who can find the lowest trophy count with a MD.
I can’t really work out how these guys manage it, I’ve gained more trophies in the last month. 🤷🏻♂️
