Yeah, I have a very thoroughly ingrained suspicion of people treating anticheat with too much confidence stemming back to when I got banned many years ago from an online game for supposedly running a script.

I had so much lag on my dialup connection, that a backlog of all my commands hit their server at the same time, so from their perspective it looked like I'd entered over a dozen commands in under a second. Insta ban, no appeal, essentially lost access to a significant percentage of my online friends that it hadn't occurred to me to get email addresses for.
