Well first of all that the problem i described is a bonus that people get for making the stupid mistake of missing an overhead.
The pike 'abuse' so many people talk about is a practiced skill that is the only way to play the pike class. I know it's not realistic and i would love to have more realistic pikes. But before you remove the only thing pikers have, think about what they should do if an enemy ran straight through their 3m long sharp stick again. Or when by some magic people started running into a pikewall blocking all pikes with one blok at the same time.
I think this topic has been discussed quite a few times already and i already mentioned my opinion so i wont say anymore.
This problem is not just an attack on a certain class (i could cry so much about some classes, but i wont) i also have seen this happening with my polearms, so i just would like an annoying game feature to be taken care off. ;)
