System says target out of range when right next to target

[OrangeTurtle4]

Did my best to fill out information for the issue based on layout given. This issue is on a Windows PC.

This bug or issue: System will say 'Target not in Range' when using a melee or ranged skill or move even when character position is right next to the target being focused on.

I can be in the target's hit box, try to hit a melee move and system will say I am not in range. I have made sure it is an attack going to the targeted enemy or objective that I have target or focus on.
I have to hit the hot bar button multiple times before it registers as me 'being in range' to activate the attack, and the target and I will still be right where we were when it said 'not in range' before.

This has happened with Healing, DPS, and Tank moves. It's frustrating and annoying. It is affecting my game play and enjoyment.
I have not had this issue before this last patch or update that came out.

Technically, this is not a bug. However, it is an issue that drags down the quality of the game and contributes to the list of reasons that would make someone eventually quit.

The reason it happens is because you must be facing the center of the enemy's hitbox in order to attack. Generally, /autofacetarget on solves this, but it fails if the boss moves through you while you are casting, because it forces you to turn around. If you have instant casts, it still fails in this scenario at high enough pings, because by the time the information reaches the server, you are no longer facing the target.

A proposed solution I saw recently was for the game to simply drop the requirement to face target in order to attack. This is already the case for auto-attacks and heals (you can do both of these things while facing away from the target).

It also happens on melee actions due to the attack range being too small. Again, this is not a bug but the range on melee attacks and interactions should be increased somewhat, by 2-5 y.
