The absolute best solution is also the simplest to implement:
Disable Auto Target.

Since autotarget is just one feature, it should be as easy to disable it in LD as it was to disable the shields.
-Benefits everybody
-less ragequits
-true bragging rights
-anti spam
-increased skill required
-auto aim spammers deservedly would get slaughtered by truly skilled people
-improves playability of recon class
-does not affect PvE
-people have more fun

I sincerely hope that his suggestion gets some attention. Removing auto aim from lockdown would make a HUGE positive difference for every player. No longer will recons worry about getting discovered by a rogue flourish swing. Unwary strikers will have a better chance at escaping and avoiding last minute jabs. Are there any negatives?
-Previous "top-notch" players who rely heavily on auto aim will fall to the abyss of skill, and get laughed at.
-Difficulty increased
-previous tactics will fail (spamming piercing sword hits randomly)

So basically, no negatives. And to the people who already do not use this newbie feature of lockdown: Your uprising shall commence!
This is a serious suggestion. I would imagine it is relativly easy to integrate into the normal LD gameplay. Please take this into consideration. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
