Spectator mode and being able to bet on fights

[Sauredfangs]

Would you like it to be able to watch battle grounds and arenas and bet on them?

Spectators cant whisper any of the participants in the battle to avoid asking them to throw the game.

Maybe if there were BG tournaments with prize pools to watch, sure. But I wouldn't watch some random BG.

Not really as it would clearly become a nightmare for gold duping with even the most mild of imaginations.

How about Rbg's or rated arenas? What if it was just like 2x,1.5x times your bet? Maybe there are a limit to each bet. Like 200g max or something like that.

Edit: a prize pool would probably work better.

Spectating, sure, better - nope.

And what would stop people from talking to them to throw fights beforehand?

maybe it doesn't tell the spectator who will be fighting or if it does show you can't whisper even before the match begins.

[Eazy]

Not like some people would use discord/vent/in-game-voice or something just to throw fights.

There are like dozens of way to by-pass that...

If anyone could bet on the winner there would be a gold dupe methods.

Betting, not really.

Spectator mode for raids though ... for benches or casters during rwf to not watch 100000 different UIs and no ability to change perspective or look around ... yes please.

IT's called discord. You cannot prevent people from talking beforehand.

I see. Well I guess it couldn't be helped. People can throw the fights now anyways if they really wanted, even without people betting, maybe to give the other team a better rank.

Actually, they already do. It is called win trading.

If they can let people get away with that, then they can let people get away with it in betting >.>

would never work these days 2 many external forms of communication the game can't control... ok maybe not never but really hard to do.

Gambling in WoW even with gold is such a bad idea, sounds like a good way to destroy the minds of youth by exposing them to the psychological effects of gambling. That being said I think it would be a great addition to the game. Bet on duels, bet on dice rolls, bet on in-game Hearthstone matches, literally enable players to bet on anything.
