AutoHotKey and EAC?

Also, why is there no chance to get unbanned if EAC bans someone wrongly for using AHK or any other macro software? I know from the game RUST that people were able to get unbanned after banwave for macro software or so ("due to the behalf of the game developer"). Im wondering why the dbd devs don't care about lifting false bans and just let the community just sit there with nothing. Sadly, there is no transparency at all and it feels so uncomftable to install AHK but at the same time it's not comfortable to stick with current smash button mechanic

I was searching for a method to make struggling and wiggling more comfortable for me (mouse wheel down is semi optimal) and I found a tool called Autohotkey. This can make scripts/macros for that. I searched around the Internet but couldn't find an official statement from EAC or the DbD devs, so I thought it's the best to ask here:

Is this allowed to use? Can I get banned by that?

This program is not listed on the EAC whitelist, so yes its usage can get you banned. However, we dont know whether EAC searches for it acitvely, but if it is detected you will be perma banned and there is no chance to get unbanned after that

You gotta decide for youself whether this "comfort" is worth risking a perma bann, for me it isnt

It isn't blacklisted either or is it? Does a blacklist even exist? I wish EAC or devs would be more transparent about those programs and giving us a clear YES or NO, especially EAC. It's a bit weird that you can possibly get PERMANENT banned for a pretty normal program without any information on any official website how EAC will behave to that. Doesn't feel like a competent anti cheat system if you ask me tho

A blacklist never existed, even in the old system. (if there exists one now, please provide the link to it)

Either it is whitelisted or you are at risk to get banned. And yes, you will get instantly perma banned for cheating (no thats not a pretty normal programm, you are gaining an ingame advantage by using a third party program). And EAC is by no means a competent anti cheat system^^

What advantage I'm gaining exactly? I'm gaining absolute no advantage, the speed of wiggling is limited, and struggling doesn't matter either how fast spacebar gets smashed. So idk what point your making but it's illogical tho.
With "normal program" I mean people are using AHK or other similar software in daily bases on their office workflow for automatic sequences for example.

You prevent yourself from developing carpal tunnel. It's unfair.

Mods! ARREST THIS MAN.

What is carpal tunnel? Translator doesn't give me translation for that

There is indeed a perfect speed in that you mash the key. Thats wh y you always getr a diffreent number of struggle poitns for example.

I dont know why we are arguing about this though. THe program is definitely not on the whitelist, so you are running the risk to get banned. Whether its worth that, you gotta decide for yourself

I always get the same number of struggle points, doesn't matter if I press spacebar or do the mousewheel semi QoL change.
Well, you started to claim that it gives an advantage which it absolutely doesn't, I'm just exposing/explaining/showing that your wrong with that statement. Not really arguing with you fam

https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases--conditions/carpal-tunnel-syndrome/

It is a health disorder from repetitive hand motion (like typing or pressing the same key). Office workers often develop the syndrome.

Oh haha my bad I thought it's an English word and not a special term, should use Google next time, thanks for the explanation mate

... You don't play survivor too often, do you?

Seems like, probably the reason why he wants survivors to get that syndrome, he hates survivors lol just joking, but he's wrong with the advantage statement
