Not sure if anyone here is guilty of using this, but just in case...Basically there are people who managed to get rank 30-50 already by using an exploit during guildleves and whatnot. I guess they'd basically prolong the guildleve as long as possible and just stand around casting enhancing/healing magic on party members to accumulate massive amounts of skill points.
