(no particular order)
#1 no account ID (To prevent ringers)
#2 no observers (watch for mis conduct and give it a spectator sport)
#3 no replays (prevent hacks and mis conduct)
#4 no reconnections (error 95 anyone?)

1-3 are a near MUST for any sort of competitive play. Number 4 is a nice luxury but also probably needed. If these are added it would make for an area for guilds to go to for high competitive area and help put GW on the map for competitions. #1 alone would help greatly and not be that complicated to code(one more line in account data input on server).

This would also help the community help identify top guilds easier with all the exploits and bugs with the current ladder system. ALso allow a tight community with people waiting for the big match between Fi and KOR(just names you will reognize).

Any input from the community on the subject?

Yeah personally I think a league or 3rd party ladder system is much preferred to the official version. With replays and observers it would be a lot better.

It would lead to more structure and match times. With the opportunity for shoutcasts etc of top matches.

Personally the Ladder is fine but it doesnt lead to the same matchups etc.
