UPDATE: Since spectator mode has been implemented, I have updated my original post. To streamline this thread, I'll let discussion regarding improvements to spectator mode take place in other threads specifically made for the topic.
While the current guild lockdown scene has a healthy sized community of competitive players, limitations in the game's features currently hinder our ability to organize competitive events such as tournaments. The main reason for this is due to aspects of the game design that compromise the ability to create the level playing field required in tournament events. Specifically, I am referring to UVs and energy revives.
Therefore, I propose the ability to create custom lobbies for guild lockdown matches, which would allow match-wide enabling/disabling of various features such as UVs, energy revives and auto-target.
Since OOO may want to be compensated for removing an option such as energy revives, I for one would not be opposed to having to spend energy to create a custom lobby. However, I don't feel that energy revives in lockdown are a significant CE sink as most people are only inclined to revive themselves on mist, and I certainly don't believe that CE for revives is a motivating factor when someone purchases an energy pack. Therefore, while it would be extra awesome if these features were available for free, I would still be grateful to see my suggestion implemented even if I had to spend energy to use it.
Let's keep the discussion about these suggestions away from arguing over the merits of UVs/revives/auto-target. The whole point of the suggested system is to allow players to decide what they want in their matches, thereby eliminating the need to argue in the first place.

Agree 100%, LD could be spread to a whole new level and more if they put this in. Many more people would see interest in Lockdown which would only benefit Three Rings.
