Well, as much as I think that the Observe mode is a very nice addition to the game, I don't know if it's very ethical. It's simply far too easy to steal builds from top guilds, which would make it increasingly more difficult to come up with a unique build.

I'd suggest that some form of "Yes, allow this match to be broadcast" or "No, don't allow this match to be broadcast" implemented.

Thoughts?

It could lead to the use of others builds. However, it wouln't be too desimilar to playing against that build although more time to look at how its used. It could lead to "scouting" missions for guilds to see other's builds. But to be honest i don't see that many problems with it. I am, in fact, in favour of being able to not let the match to be broadcasted for an element of surprise for future battles.
In order for it to be broadcasted the permission of each leader should be given for it to be broadcasted.
After all observer mode could be alot like a televised sporting event and possibly cause players to be nervous and not play to their full potential.
