Game Mechanics: Melee Range almost impossible to hit people running

Need more feedback before we consider increasing the range.

This was always an issue on RZ for melee characters. The solution was to put your character a few steps in front of the fleeing opponent. I played a rogue pk on RZ and i would always have to get like 2 steps in front of the person i was chasing in order for backstab (or any melee swing) to land. following the person from behind resulted in "You are too far away from your target, get closer." message.

While melee range on moving targets was always a bitch on live, it's distinctly more ridiculous on strafe-running pcs on emulator. The way strafe "ghosts" the PC model on top of hit-box issues, it's just...wow.

A slight tweak is necessary for balance IMO.
