    Streaming is one thing. The viewer can only see what the streamer can see.

    Letting spectators view a battle in progress from any angle they like could be abused by people who bring in coaches or spotters to watch for and announce mechanical tells so that the participants don't have to.

    That's a valid concern in PvP battles, but for PvE dungeons/trials/raids, that sounds more like an added bonus than abuse.

    (Somewhat ironic that PvP is the only place we already have spectator mode, but I think that's only for 1x1 matches, so there's probably not much extra in the way of tells that the participant is likely to miss.)
