Since I'm new to this forum I don't know if this has been suggested yet, and since I'm a noob I didn't use the friendly search feature, but here's my idea.

Ever since I started getting back into TAO I've always truly wished that I could observe other peoples matchs not only for educational purposes, but also because there are some battles that I'd love to watch start to finish(Whether it's between friends, clan members or rivals).

A problem that this could face is:
Better clan members watching, and then using the clan chat to tell the player what moves to make.
A: Remove all chat privelages except for chatting between the spectators.

Another problem could possibly be lag? I'm not to sure of this though, maybe they could set a limit to how many spectators to help prevent this. If this would to somehow magicaly jump from my imagination to real life I'm thinking it would be as simple as this:
At the main lobby when you move your cursor over a game already in progress both tiles turn a different colour(Maybe something like green so it stands out). You click and it loads and you watch, and while you watch it has the same option on the side that you get when the game is over "Lobby" "Exit". Nothing to big just something that I think would come to good use, and make matchs more interesting, aswell as bringing the community somewhat closer

What do you guys think?

I think its a cool idea.
but with this feature, what if the player in battle wants his privacy? maybe he/she would like to keep his strategies to himself.

it'd be cool if a player in-battle had the option to block people from spectating. and also, if someone were to be watching my battle, I'd like to know who. like it could say:
***currently being viewed by SuperNoobBoy***
just for privacy purposes.

but yeah, I'd personally like to watch a good fight between fellow clan member, or rivals, or whatever.

Hmm, yeah that's a valid point. Some solutions could be:
-At the very beginning of the match to chose if you want it to be private or public
-Have an in-game button that makes all your units disapear, that way there would be no delay in lobby having to chose whether its public or private, maybe have a button in settings making it able to set this to default so someones whos pro wouldn't forget and reveal their strats.
-Turn..I duno...maybe the 9th floor into public matchs, and have the rest private. This would be good to get rid of any of the inconveniences that would come with my other suggestions. A problem could be that the 9th floor might be full.

My bad.

I'm going to ignore your idea. You knew about the search feature, you know it may already have been suggested. So you should have searched, simple.

The search button strikes again. use the search feature, browse all of the other ideas, and then post something new thats actually worthwhile. that handy search button has saved many a noob a hard time.
