First of all,
Yes, you get 25 points whenever there is a plunder of a treasure item. It does not have to be "new." Cheat cards do not give the 25 points.
Second,
Plunder is given for 10% of enemies defeated. Some newer enemy types give 0% (e.g. French Lieutenants or Spanish Conquistadors.)
Third,
A basic access member is low level - at level 14 EVEN WITH the invisible and invulnerable KH glitch, the level 18 veterans are far too tough to defeat in a timely manner. (Certainly way, way, way longer than 1 minute.) Camping on the gravediggers would get you reported.
Fourth,
To get ~526,800 points...at say, one monster every 15 seconds (way faster than physically possible, but what the hey) gives 4 enemies defeated per minute - 2.5 minutes for ten enemies - 2.5 minutes for 25 points - precisely 10 points per minute, on average. 525,000 / 10 = 52,500 minutes. 60 minutes in an hour = 875 hours. Two hours a day (ugh! On a boring pirate! You've GOT to be kidding!)
would be 439 DAYS. Pirates Online hasn't been around that long yet, though.
So, if you see a basic member level 40, you can be certain they used to be unlimited. (Likewise 30.) The fact that most pirates don't make it that far at all, should be a big clue for ya. It is a huge grind, for unlimited...but not physically possible for a basic.
