Obtaining Zerek modules

I’m kinda curious myself since there are about 25 new 7 star level 85 Mara and Soda that just appeared yesterday on the leaderboards post being able to get Zerek.  No one should have access to them even if you use crystals to star level Mara and Soda during this week.  So either these players were sitting on them and just suddenly decided it’s a great time to level, CG pulled shenanigans and merged some era players together, or there’s a ton of cheaters and CG doesn’t care.  I’m also having trouble believing I’m having a hard time with tier 7 with era level 75 toons and level 66 loaned toons while quite a few players with era level 60 mains and level 56 loaned are in tier 8 and 9 Jotaz today.
