Hello all. I'm not a forum person but after seeing this "manual block" topics pop out alot, i wanted to say my thoughts on that (and registered to forums for this 
). First of all i voted for autoblock. There are some reasons for that;
-First is that if you want to use manual blocking, you can easily go into options and make it manual. Its that simple, no need to force every person who plays to use it.
-Second reason; I guess some people've already noticed that some archer players're using some kind of autoaim hack which you can notice when they instantly switch between mobs, like while shooting front; they instantly turn back to aim other mob behind of them unwillingly, then switch to front mobs instantly again while headshoting every one of them; its likely an autoaim thing like on console games that let them switch between mobs it seems. Those same players who use hack without giving a shit, and the people who wont really want to use manual blocking WILL use "autoblock hack" while the rest of us who dont like hacks will be forced to use manual blocking. It was really a major problem(maybe still is) on crpg even after they banned who they found out using that hack. People who dont even know how to attack properly, can block every swing they get thrown to, it was sad to see those... I dont want same shit going on here aswell while i'm forced use manual blocking (yeah i know its not the same gametype still, hack is a hack).
-Third is; mobs are alot more clever than the DTV of the crpg's mobs (or native mobs) when it comes to AI. On here mobs always try to attack you on left or right side of yours while you try to block the one in front of you; they always try to flank you and if you let 2-3 of them attack at the same time you'll probably end up dead unless you dont have a shield to get them in line again. So why to make it even harder?
-4th is; i'm sorry to repeat that but: You can turn autoblocking off on option if you want to!!!
Thats all i wanted to say, sorry if my English is not good enough and; see you guys&gals in-game, have fun .
