Good morning,
 
I would like to make a request to Carbine with regard to a "spectator mode" of sorts.  I lead a group of people (30 right now) in trying to get attuned and start raiding.  We have 10 people at 4/4 that "can" help other players start to get attuned.  There is a huge concern with this as the people that are "helping" might actually be carrying the others through attunement.  Now we all know that not everyone is suited to lead a group.
 
It would be very nice for a raid leader to "spectate" the play of 5 people that are put into a group without having to go into said group themselves.  This would allow for the raid leadership to still be there without the struggle of carrying these people through the place.  It would also allow for all 5 people that need that dungeon to get it done rather than having to run the place 2-3 times with more experienced people carrying those 5 that need it.  
 
Is this something that is even a plausible thing to add into an MMO?
 
 
Edit: I know you could stream via Twitch, etc, but there is a lag time so it would be hard to lead a group this way.

			I like the idea of a spectator mode :) . It would be a good idea to see a failed dungeon attempt from another perspective and fine tune your run from there assuming it's a guild run.

			I would love this idea! It would open up a ton of content possibilities! Putting this arena would make me REALLY happy :D

			For sure.  And to build teamwork with 5 NEW people at the same time rather than split those 5 into 2 groups with more experienced players.  It's a way for that group to "earn" their raid spot while not depending on a "new" player to be the one to lead that group.  It's not fair for one person that might be really good to be held back by their group due to leadership.  The raid leader can also determine who the "weak links" are while spectating and do what they can to help those people get better.

It would be great if Artemis' camera bots floated behind a player who was being spectated, 1 camera for every 5 players, up to a max of 3. I wonder if there are technical hurdles or PVP concerns to being spectated, and if it's a lot of trouble to code moderator controls on who can spectate you & when.
 
I like the idea alot, it helps make good players stand out and a potentially very social feature.
