Tbh, there is also a problem in what is considered botting and what draws the line for scripts. Auto path finding, autopick up, auto mine, auto harvest, and ect are scripts as well and do fall under scripts which make up bots. Yes there may be some cheese bots but I doubt even 5% use that serious bots if even 1%, a lot of people simply lack the skills or connections needed to produce clients and scripts to accomplish this (which I understand why a lot of you see this as an unfair advantage).
However, bots do get broken and simply a lot of the best stats are usually not obtained by bots. Take for example a neighbor that lived near me, he simply had three accounts with extremely high stats but he never used a bot. He simply didn't die and continued to play the game as it was meant to be played EVERYDAY and continued to raise crop stats and ect. Bots cannot do everything unless the coder spends countless hours coding a bot instead of playing a game, which to me is counter productive and extremely slow. Now the bots can do tedious work like cutting down trees, eating food when it is hungry, or simple menial tasks but the rest is simply done by the village playing the game, working together, and not dying or crying that someone else has higher stats than they do.
Also for FEP, if you have high quality food and items to begin with and make sure to eat a balanced diet of very specific things as loftar stated then you can obtain high stats extremely quick considering if you have the resources. Like for instance I make a brand new account and grind q400 carrots at the best table possible then within minutes I can have great stats considering if I keep to the diet. I just simply understand the FEP system well, no bots needed here.
And LP can be gained easily by having good quality curious or good types of curious and simply just playing the game. I am not sure what is the difference between a bot putting lp items in it's inventory and a player considering if you have a village that supplies you with decent curious otherwise you guys are not working as a team. (Bots usually fail at foraging due to countless variables and events that could happen during foraging which leads to a dead bot making it extremely ineffective and for crafting curious, literally just craft it. There is no advantage over you crafting it and a bot crafting it. It may in fact be better if a player does this process rather than a bot.) Also, use a study table, it allows you to have your grid autofilled. It super easy and I can assure that is better than any bot if you just use it.
Third, the comment about russians using bots is quite mistaken. I live with a large majority of russians and their kingdom has high level stat players and not a single one of them bots. Shame on you for this comment. Nationality and language has nothing to do with the botting situation at hand because a script can be run on any client regardless of language or nationality.
