The weapon reach could work with blocking. If you have the same level of reach blocking would always result in no damage, but if you're blocking a mithril sword with a wooden sword there could be a greater chance to take damage anyway. But again I suggested this to be simple so it's easy to implement and will be implemented this update. A whole new combat system would require it's own update, not a small addition to Beta 23.
