Not true, blindness reduces accuracy for enemy NPC's, I've done some tests on it myself. Accuracy in this game is just a little weird is all. For instance, the only time accuracy comes largely into play is when fighting against higher level enemies. You will find that you miss much more often, unless you have skills like sharpshooter. An enemy NPC will Miss much more often with the throw dirt effect activated, however there are a few things to remember about accuracy. Perhaps the biggest issue, is that it only has a chance to cause a miss on the FIRST attack of a skill. So enemy skills like Flourish, and Bayonet Rush, will either miss on every attack, or hit on every attack.
It would appear that the effect in PvP is perhaps different. It may still have an accuracy reduction, it may simply be that those who have experienced it were a higher level than those they continued attacking, effectively canceling out the accuracy reduction. Or maybe they just ditched the accuracy issue for pvp and added the splatter effect, though I truly doubt it.
I fully endorse putting at least 1 point into throw dirt, as it has a 10 second duration a relatively short cooldown (So short that I'm convinced that a few more points in the skill would allow for a constant cycling of the blind effect). At the very least it will allow the wielder and easier time leveling as it results in less downtime while waiting for health to regen.
