Thoughts on the Colosseum and PvP

[ZakarnRosewood]

So this sounds like and judging by the artwork, PvP wont be like WoW where its everywhere but in a specific location so people go there to do battle.



When I hear "Colosseum" I think of the Romans and their great Colosseum filled with throngs of spectators, cheering on or booing the combatants. I would love to see a spectator mode for this where people can go to watch and possibly bet on the outcomes. I'm not going to pretend to know any of the technical things that might be required to make this happen but i would like to know what you guys think.

Would you like to have a spectator mode for the PvP Colosseum?
What kinds of battles would you like to watch? (ex: 1v1 Tournament, Team fights 4v4 or 8v8 FCvFC, etc)
Would you be interested in being able to bet on matches or would this just be a possible exploit?

EDIT: Adding in user ideas.

Pseudopsia - Gridanians vs Ant Lions for intermission

Kirito - Colosseum announcer, Uses generic terms to ID the sides. To declare victory or defeat.

Lady - 1 on 1 PvP

ZakarnRosewood - PvE survival mode

ZakarnRosewood - "Naked" arena mode with gear scattered around.

Kallera - Boats, Chariots, or Mounts

ZakarnRosewood - Terrain (if they will have things like field of view and losing sight of enemies
interrupts their chase, or elevation plays a factor in damage ala FF-tactics)

Forgo - Tournaments using the bracket system with a rare item for house or piece of gear for the winner ^.^ Make them a one time [reward] so more people can try for it and maybe hold one [tournament] once a month (rl time) with side battles [qualifier tournaments] to earn your way in.

AdorraEloom - Would like pvp in the colosseum to have 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4 matches With seperate viewing areas for each and perhaps multiple instances for each.
