Delia's "skill" comes down to landing your smashes consistently. With how prone you are to having your fully backloaded damage interrupted and damage loss on hit stemming from dropping vigor stacks (leading to wasted time or wasted SP re-applying it), I'd say using Delia's relatively small kit correctly on smaller and/or more aggressive bosses isn't nearly as braindead as your post seems to imply. If every boss in the game was equivalent to an infection-less Eochaid, I'd probably agree with you, though at that point every character becomes pretty braindead.

I'd say Delia has a reasonably high skill floor and a low skill ceiling, with the skill floor having a inverse relationship with attack speed, to a finite degree.

Just my opinion.

Didn't mean to imply it was "braindead". I simply said Delia is the lowest skill character class when you stack her against the other classes. She is easy to learn, and easy to manage; she doesn't have a large pool of skills to choose from when using SP, area effects that require tactical timings and placements, two resources to manage, multiple different stacks that you need to accumulate consistently, or several cool-down timers to be mindful of.

Every character has their complexities. However, that doesn't oppose my point of her requiring the lowest skill to use.

No Small/Large Shield categories? That's okay I guess.

Delia is the lowest skill character. I don't think that's even debatable since her kit is like 80% of an actual character when compared to the others with only 4 actives and smashes up to LLLR. You can go ahead and debate the "reward" whatever that is (damage? utility?...sex appeal?). Furthermore, once you get 70+ attack speed, people just ignore 40% of that already lacking character kit to spam Falling Comet.

If you told other people, then it's clear that there's an information leak. Find the mole, and purge it vindictively.

An interesting topic. First of all, I'm of the same mind as noctred said. Permanent bans are not personal, so grudges are likely irrelevant to lifting bans.

If it's not an IP ban or anything of the sort, then you could just make a new account and justifiably should start over from scratch.
-Any progress that you made from cheating is no longer really considered progress, so I don't see why you should get your old account back.
-Additionally, you should see a new account as an opportunity to start with a clean slate. If you are infamous, then the current players base would be the ones holding the grudges, and it becomes discomforting for everyone to play with you. Even from a business perspective it's better not to risk more trouble.
-Furthermore, if it's been 8 years, there's likely no way to verify or retrieve your account. There's been name purges, launcher updates, server merges, etc...

For any other "more permanent" form of ban, you could try to appeal using examples like Riot Games overturning their ID bans. From my perspective though, overturning bans like these will only result in damage, and if you really want to play a game this badly, then it's completely on you to find a way to play again. If you are suffering from some personal attachment to your account or characters, then I'd let that serve as a constant reminder for the rest of your life.

You still get the same guild feather for free, the new ADDITIONAL one revives everyone in that party.

Interesting. I didn't get a free Guild Feather. The only ones I have are from before the change.
