I had gotten 100+ without port forwarding. Port forwarding is overrated, seeding time and popularity of torrent is what really matters.

not overrated. at least one side needs to be open.

I would get about 20x to 50x more up traffic with a forwarded port and no IPv6, as opposed to no forwarded port and IPv6.

as soon as a download finishes, upload drops to 0 and it never sends a single byte even if i keep it seeding for a week. thought that was a port forwarding issue..

idk I don't port forward and have 10+ ratios regularly

Because you're able to connect to people who have port forwarding set up. Meanwhile, anyone like yourself without it is unable to connect to you.

I know. I never said otherwise. I'm responding to someone who said they can't seed at all without port forwarding.
