Guild Wars 2

If ArenaNet wants to make GW2 into e-Sport then spectactor mode is needed. Commenters and audience need to know what is happening, what is being cast and so on. Cast Bars make it more transparent. That is one reason to have them

Second reason is that whether AN likes it or not, races does have an impact on competitivity. It’s far harder to distinguish animations done by tiny characters like asura than it is for norn and humans. Becomes even more advantagous in case of group fights vs small enemies or when huge characters walk/cover small ones.

I think that sooner or later ANet will have to add it in one way or another.

the best thing they can do is add a new map with everytime the same mode, they can not do anything else.
…only six months since the game came out if I had not understood

A cast bar would be valuable for spectator mode.

giving a castbar to the players is asking for a bad time.

TBH i cant see a reason that explains why after 6 month we cant see enemy cast bars nor enemy target

On the other hand not giving it is asking for all top teams to be asura only.

i mean, if they dint nothings in 6 months, i think they didnt really care like they write or j sharp says, and its ok for me because in gw2 they delete the pvp comunity and now gw2 is a only zergvszerg ehm wvwvw or pve game

Stick to the topic guys, pros and cons of castbars. We can complain about their work in other thread:)
