Do you Want an observer mode in Guild Wars 2

Ill, keep it simple, we don't know much about the mechanics of hardcore pvp in guildwars 2, theres lots of cons and pros of this feature in GW 1. Ill let you guys discuss.

Poll

1.YES
2.NO
3.I dont care

1. Yes I do, please.

... there's cons to obsever mode in GW1?

1. Observer mode gives me summat to do

3) never used it so dont really care

Same as this man's post.

3. Rarely ever use it. Unless something funny was going on.

There's no real argument as to why it shouldn't be there. It allows you to watch good teams play, and for guilds who want to seriously make an effort to play GvG, they can see what builds better teams run. Sure they can copy that build easily, but you could before anyway during a GvG match - everyone picks a number and writes down the skills used by that person. Attributes are pretty easy to guess.

for the imbalance and build wars, not only did new proff and skills cause this, but so did ob mode

YES plz, if you have problem with your gvg build, you can get help at the observe mode.

I believe (as Lifeinthefridge does) that Observer mode has led to more cookie cuttering then ever before. Although I'm not openly against it (I wouldn't be upset if it was in GW2) I'd kinda prefer if it wasn't.

Yes, it gives me something to do when I am bored.

I don't use it, but i don't see why we shouldn't have one.

GW2 Will be totally different compared to the current GW. I don't see why there shouldn't be an observer mode. It would be like going a step backwards. Personally I enjoy watching some scrub r1000+ guild trying to run a top 10 guilds' exact build and being destroyed within 3 minutes. Watching it happen consecutively 5 times in a row is just hard on the lungs from laughing so hard.

Yes so when I can not play I can just watch =)

Obs makes copy paste builds a lot easier.

It's useful when you want to see what the current trend of meta-game is, especially for high-rank GvG and HoH matches.

So, YES.

Absolutely yes, for GvG at least. HvH obs mode is a joke...

Yeah Observer mode = PvP. HvH != PvP

HvH is that what the rest of us call HB ??
Observe in that is stupid, I rather have TA observe.

Obs mode has more overall benefits than downsides, in my opinion.
