We should be able to hear peoples vanilla punches.
In cube craft you can hear when someone punches, You can often spot people using auto clickers and it is extremely common, only god knows how many auto clickers there are scattered around on the hive and in the hive leader boards. Also people should be able to know if they got killed fairly or not.
I don’t even know why we can’t hear punches in the hive. The only counter argument I can think of it the sound being a annoyance. If the sound is a annoyance you can simply go into the audio settings and turn down the “player” audio. All this will do is stop the punching sound from being heard.
