Walding's bottomfeeders were 15k to 18k acres 20 days into the set. Are you saying that he only could have gained another 12k to 15k acres in the next few weeks? Or are you using your own limitations and assuming that everyone else is equally impotent?
I'd say that 40k to 50k acres from bottomfeeding is quite possible in FFA. In fact, FFA bottomfeeding appears to be easier than bottomfeeding on the alliance server, so whatever landsizes people get in alliance, I'd say can be matched in FFA. The reason good players don't bottomfeed with countries on FFA to grow to the sizes that you can attain on alliance is that there's no reason do play FFA and netgain with 16 individual countries exactly like its the alliance server. If you're going to play FFA, you're probably doing it specifically because you can play 16 countries instead of 1.
SS and PS are useful and can grow pretty well. They can even keep up with landtrading up to around 50k acres or so when landtrading starts to pull ahead, but at considerable economic cost. That's due to landtrading being exponential growth, whereas bottomfeeding is fairly linear.
