You could fill a hundred servers with bots and it wouldn't change those stats unless you specifically engineered the bot to do so and rented a bunch of IPs / did some spoofing. Not that you actually care, you're just trolling out of malice or ignorance.
For the benefit of others, here is some basic arithmetic anyone could do for a sanity check on the numbers. Stats for the past week:
- Average unique IPs per day (master server): 815
- Average unique IPs over week (master server): 2473
- Total hours played (calculated by players on servers): 9996
If you went by the launcher usage over the past week it would be an average of 2.5 hours per player per week (4080 unique IPs). That's probably over estimating player count, but it's still within reason (as an average has to both represent the player that hops on for an hour every weekend and someone who plays every day).
That doesn't really make sense. If you own the server you wouldn't need to create an in-game bot to log events - you have access to the server log itself which will have more information than any single client can get. And if you have the coding knowledge to make a modified client for a bot, it would be easier to modify the server with enhanced logging or an event API.

The classic "I wasn't serious, you're the asshole for reacting" dodge. Without outside context (such as knowing someone's actual opinion beforehand) sarcasm doesn't work very well in text. I did actually interpret it as sarcasm though - a sarcastic joke ("so bots are the cause for misleading stats"). You can remove the sarcasm, but that still leaves you with the joke being about the stats, which is what I was responding to.
And while it's not that big of a deal, I'm a little tired of this subject repeatedly coming up (some asshat takes one look at the numbers and cries fake because they haven't thought about it for half a second). The numbers aren't perfect and we'll never have a precise player count without some tracking mechanism built into the mod, but as far as proxies go the data is quite good.
