I knew of people who were so addicted to WoW that they decided to download a speed hack

Running a speed hack is the fastest and surest way to be perma-banned. Even spamming profanity or racial slurs in general chat was not a guaranteed or as fast of a perma ban as running a speed hack

This is because the game can auto-detect when a character was moving faster than any in-game mechanic could create. When this happened the game instantly logs them out and locks their account for review from a moderator. This is just a formality, however, the account would 100% of the time be perma-banned with no exceptions

So if someone was hopelessly addicted and wanted to make sure they could never come back to their old account, that was a way

Not saying it’s the case here, just reminded me of it
