I'm quite experienced in player-killing myself, but that's really beside the point. The fact is, scripting is simply faster than a human. If something is parsable, it is scriptable. Text that gets communicated in a known format is exceptionally parsable and thus exceptionally scriptable. If reaction times are an issue (and you stated that you believe that PvP comes down to reaction times), humans lose even worse than in chess.
