The statement that bots are responsible for the constant raise in quality always kind of bothers me. It's not a fully true statement from my experience. When you look at the metal industry, a lot of the quality gains and raises there are almost entirely done bot free. Well back when they started to hit absurd levels they were all done by hand and bot free. It doesn't take much to keep metal quality rising, all it needs is a decent set up and time. Running something like 40+ smelters and finery forges at a time helps. Its just sheer brute force.
The only industry bots help out the most with in quality is farming. Due to how the randomness of gains work in regards to crops, bots are absolutely needed just to remain on top of it all.
What bots end up helping with the most right now in hafen is pepper. Due to the sheer strength of it and quantity needed bots for this is an ideal task. Even food making doesn't really need bots. You are perfectly capable of maintaining a rather large cheese set up if you dedicate an hour a day to farming and seeing as how cheese is king for stats the effort put into it is only immense when making the set up, after that its just a steady constant stream of food.
I don't want to downplay the impact of bots, but i feel it rather fair to give this side of the discussion when a lot of people seem to over state the influence of botting on the game. It's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be.

However, in just this version of haven alone I have had access to nearly every type of script that you could want. Some have become obsolete and others are no longer usable due to client developers moving on and whatnot, but I'm talking about bots that bake, cook, smelt steel, mine ore, transport ore, build mine supports, burn ore, grind pepper for 6 hours straight, forage on set paths, pearling bots, stockpilers, food troughers, milkers, shearers, silk bots and even a bot that would walk through multiple cave levels and just grind bats 24/7 for LP.
I do not use these bots on a regular basis (because I just don't care enough for the grind and because the game plays like shit even with one client open), but it would be entirely possible to have many clients running to cover multiple industries as one player and I am sure that there is a small handful of people who do just that.
I don't think that botting is having a major influence on the whole, but the people with access to or who are making these bots are very efficient and they are the ones who stand the test of time in this game. They are the ones that you will see online when there are only 40 people playing and I do feel that they contribute their fair share towards the world's top qualities (even if they are only producing the bulk metal and then selling it to the manual spiralers)
