ever wonder if sombody was watching you??? A-NET!!! ha ha a/w i think that maby while vaquishing you could turn on observer mode (F8+C) so like guildies/friends could watch you without acctually coming with you.....and you can tell how many people are wacthing by like a lil box in the left hand/right hand corner xD

No. I don't want to be seen when I make boo-boo. I want to brag like if I was perfect in all aspects.

It's bad enough that my teammates see me do dumb things.

As long as I have the option to toggle it, I have no objection. Would be useful to demonstrate runs, farming, etc.

Screw people, I want privacy.
Besides, what's the point? You want to see where others are farming or what?

And it'd be incredibly boring:
Group 1: Ursan
Group 2: Ursan
Group 3: H/H
Group 4: Ursan
Group 5: Solo raptor farmer

The only thing it'd be useful is for farming runs, mainly. Anet's servers already suck. This'll just make it worse.

I like how the person who set up the poll showed what they think.

Spied is not a term people use in a positive manner very often. Apparently having this would be a bad thing to the poll makers view

I said no, simply because if you want to learn something, you either ask someone to show you (friend, guildmate, etc.), pay someone to show you, or learn on your own. Besides which, it would take a large amount of sever space to hold EVERTONES "experience" for people to watch. And how do you go about finding what it is you want to watch? I'm a Monk looking for a Monk doing Vanquishing in a specific zone, how many will be available to watch? The list would be insanely long, and sorting methods would be difficult to implement.

would rather not let people outside of my guild watch me do what I do out in an explorable area. Its a cool idea but it has the potential of having to many problems. Maybe if there was a way to require permission to watch a certain person outside of your guild. But still don't like that idea..

/not signed. Lets be real here, watching pve activities is more boring than doing pve activities. I think a XMP would be added before this is even given any consideration.

I can understand watching pvp matches. It's like watching any other competitive match. But watching some people in pve? If you are so bored with the game that you want to watch some people beat ai you really need to go outside.

Pretty much indifferent on this.

Pros: Show someone how to do run or farm an area. (enough videos on web for this already)

Cons: Possible lag if you have a lot of people watching you.

Make it by invite only. The one being watched sends invite to whomever they may want to demonstrate the way to setup something in particular. E.G. Death Leveling - SoandSo invites MeorYou to watch how he lures and sets up the Charr. Recording, editing, and posting video time saved.

If I log in these days then it's to vanquish a map with heroes and hench, and I don't mind taking my time and will take several breaks during the map. If someone is so bored that my style of play is interesting to them, then they are welcome. I pray that not many people are so afflicted.

i dont know why this thead 1 has a poll and 2 why its still going but it did invoke an idea for gw2 and that is being able to record your playing, in pvp and pve.

One thing I think people missed from the OP is that he suggested being able to toggle it.

I think there should be options though, for instance there could be a checklist.

[] Guild

[] Alliance

[] Friends

[] Anyone

You could just check the ones you wanted to allow. So if there was a specific person you wanted to show how to do something, you could invite them to your friends, and then just select the "Friends" checkbox.

That way you could choose who you allowed to observe your game.

Yes, please. Random arenas are hilarious. Frenzy warriors attacking with empathy on them.
