Why not a Spectate Mode for TPvP ?
Because spectating hotjoin is so much more important.
Because its a shame to let people spectate TPvP with leavers/afkers in every second game.
Almost nothing in this game will ever be fixed.
Anet fix things only if it might increase gemstore sales.
There are some problems with spectating tpvp matches, like how much lag would it cause to have 5 people spectating for instance, and how many people can spectate at once… can you spectate and cheat for the other team?
You can always spectate in twitch.tv though but you can’t spectate specific matches and not everyone is an attention working girl, so you won’t get to spectate everything.
Not to beat a dead horse but cheating and lag is solved by how Guild Wars 1 did the Observation Mode. Every time a top ranked team plays a match, one hour later the match is available for other players to watch.

Yea I remember spectating in gw1 was pretty cool.
Honestly a lot of the features of GW1 would be great in gw2 but I’m pretty sure they’re working from scratch to code these features in.. and it was probably much much easier to do with gw1 as it was much less sophisticated in terms of code structure imho. (MOUSE CLICK TO MOVE GAMES ARE THE BEST EVERRRR)
I enjoyed spectating in Guild Wars. Ah memories!
