Idea: Allowing Spectators in Dungeons

[Kirito]

Any spectator mode in any type of competitive PvP type game would have to be on delay if they don't want cheating. Say if you were playing a capture the flag battleground. You could have your friend on Vent spectate the game and tell you where the other teams flag carrier is or call out what the other team is doing or where they are located.

People complain a lot about WoW not having this for their PvP arenas and battlegrounds, but the main reason Blizzard doesn't do this is because people would cheat with it if it was real time. They said something along the lines of they didn't want to do the delay thing because it would be a lot of work to program record save everything that happens then replay it at a later time and they just didn't want to do it.

It doesn't have to be recorded... my thought of this mode was under the assumption it was live...

Maybe for PVP is best to do for only Replays... Only able to spectate if it's tournament or something... :P

hmm a last hit instant replay would be cool... but I would assume the majority of spectator mode would be for the live experience... It would add an almost unheard of experience in MMO's, the "I was there" experience... For example, if you watched the first tournament you could say "I was there when the first first tournament king was crowned"... Although that is miniscule in comparison to the teaching application and amusement application of this mode...
