@22 I read in an article here on WoW Insider (though I can't remember which off the top of my head) that the ranged weapons would require a 5m range to be used... which means that technically, there is STILL a 1m deadzone between melee (being @4m) and ranges combat.

They probably do that because of poor math processing in their code. It might not allow for fractions of a meter, so they couldn't do 4.1m for ranged. And probably some restriction in the code keeping them from using 4m for both, that might cause guns/bows to "become" melee at that meter mark, giving a lack of mininum range requirement on them.

Those are educated guesses. I've spent plenty of time working with code, being that my degree is in programming.
