Ahh, but that's different than what you were just saying. You said it was impossible for this to exist because directional hitboxes existed. Now you're saying it was possible but was not implemented (but only for PvP, of course). Which is it? I certainly don't remember being able to face away from someone and autoattack them. Several others in this thread post along the same line. Furthermore, I recall it being somewhat difficult to pull off the run-through backstab, though I didn't have a very high-level rogue, you had to time it right against a moving target and be at just the right distance. With this new system it seems almost trivial.
That's not what I said, nor what I intended you to take from that. Stop screwing around. It is not my fault you have not seen the code. I do not have server code on my PC anymore, but I can assure you that the backstab code was explicitly different from auto-attack code, assuring that you must be behind the target in order for it to work.

It's not as simple as saying a hitbox is a hitbox is a hitbox. It's quite different than that, actually.
