I thought of this when at the Shiverpeak arena. You can see the playing field from there, and I started thinking of how cool it would be to be able to see an instance of one of the current fights (randomly selected) on the field. Of course, I'm not sure how much coding this would require, nor do I know how much extra stress it would put on the servers.
Just one more idea for some eye candy .

Hmmm....there's an exact same topic being discussed on the same page. Actually just several posts below this one. You might want to look into that one.

if you read the latest "fansite friday" linked on the frontpage, gaile mentions that they are putting most of their effort into getting the spectating to work... putting off an auction house until that's done :'(

I cant imagine myself wanting to watch people fight, especially people in random 4v4 battles. Wouldn't you rather be fighting? or leveling? or farming? If your to the point where you just want to watch people fight (unless they are some kind of guild friends [IE watching a GvG battle because there was no room for you]) you should be watching a movie...

Maybe you want some strategy ideas? Or maybe you just like watching slaughter?

Most movies aren't just PURE violence (all surely have violence though).

I would not only watch these people slaughter themsevles, I would pay to get in!

Silly me. I tried the search, but stupidly enough I missed what was right in front of me.
