this has been a problem for so long that I've given up caring

Yeah they do. but 37% (or whatever you get) on 3m is never going to be very much.
It does but even with a range setup (+100%~) you'll get like 8m.
Edit: Kleever was faster than me. I'd like to add that brawl (3m), dimach (6m) and perks have their own range. Perks aren't affected by range.

blah
I'm also pretty sure it doesn't effect perk/special rangeBut I might be wrong..

it doesn't matter if it effects the melee weapons range or not, it's a bug ingame that prevents us from using our weapons/specials/perks because it thinks we're 'out of range' even when we're not.
and here's a thought, wth do we have to sacrifice our setups to compensate for game bugs ??
Maybe the new hardware FC is installing will help with some of the server sync issues . . . . MAYBE . . . .
A fellow melee player a while back at a TL5 AI raid commented that I should use "/follow" to combat the "out of range" bug. It seemed to work for me. I even added it to my raid bar for a while:
Assist macro -> Follow macro -> Attack -> Alpha
Rootcommand Level 219/28 Omni Solitus Fixer
Diosdemuerte Level 213/18 Omni Solitus Soldier
Dicenslice Level 220/21 Omni Atrox Keeper
~ Proud Member of Newcomers Alliance ~
so it *might* work once in a while on slow RS toons... but c'mon @ 220 ???

It does help for PvM. I use it a lot when I kill ado hecks. It's not that useful in PvP. /follow isn't working well and your target gain range.
blah
I'm never taking /follow out of my hotbar. I would even put it there before /assist.
But as nogoal said it's useless in pvp. You gotta run diagonal to catch anyone :P
I use /assist combined with /follow all the time in PvM and in raids, but have found very little help from it on BS due to the high runspeed people have...
I'm also pretty sure /follow is handled client side. So I can't see how it would effect the out-of-range bug.
it if is client side, then it should be moved to server side, it'll improve it's accuracy when following someone that runs not in a straight line (or a drunken person)
and in any case, there's a slowdown effect that was added a few patches back that F's you up whenever you're 'nearly' at /follow range (when you should come to a stop)

It's server side or it wouldn't help against bugged mobs. And thus it doesn't have the out-of-range bug.
The issue with follow is when your target is kiting. Follow will always take the straightest line which isn't the best way to catch him up.
blah
This is the only reason I lose duels to ranged ppl because the freaking out of range!!!!

Rather certain it's not server side. An easy example to demonstrate:
let's say we're chasing someone running in a straight line. We see them stop
on our client, so our /follow has us stop (but we're not in range). A second later, we
see our target a long ways off because our target never actually stopped running,
then /follow has us running again.
If it were server side, we wouldn't have stopped even though our client displayed the target stopped.
