It is not a speculation. I am writing what I am seeing + what you have admitted already. It is not like I was hiding the buffs of my kingdom for ages, but been posting the progress.
We all know that you have bots, do not deny this, at least.

If you would work hard enough or would have been a forward thinker, you would pile up the natural resourses you would find. I have also shown that the majority of the items for the statues have been traded or gathered earlier in the world. Why do you keep portraying it as botting is also pretty obvious for me as well.
You think you put in a lot of effort for 140 foul smoke/notes? Imagine how much someone else who isn't a part of Dis has to put in.
Because that person was not putting any effort in maintaining the market, defending it (3 siege attempts) and etc.

What we have is a result of months of works, time and effort. If you cannot afford it or, actually, do not want to do it, do not complain about people pointing that out. I am saying people, since it is not only me who has noticed that you are eager to tell others what and how to do, while doing nothing on the matter.
Also, there are many people in my alliance, whereas you might have only 5 people active? Are you implying that you should be able to compete with a realm supported by more than 30 people?
Yeah, and a 10 stat newb will have 20. 40 will have 80, 50 will have 100. But if the bonus is +100, +200 or even more, guess who actually receives the most benefit out of that? The guy with 50 stats or the guy with 500?
Did you actually know, that more stats you have, less effect they will have for you? 100 stats buff is nothing for someone with 500 stats, but a huge buff for someone that has only 100 in stats.
100 stated character gets a double of his stats, while the 500 stated character gets less.
100 stated character with such buffs will be able to hunt bears sooner, make higher quality stuff sooner, forage sooner, develop and mine sooner. For 500 stated character there is not much of a difference.
Think, the devs are much more clever than you in that case.
