Problem with ghost mode is that it makes it too easy for players
that are lower on the content totem pole to discover spoilers for
content that they are having trouble with. This will tend to
accelerate the advancement of all players. Is there any way to build
content so that it's spoiler proof? If not, it'll get chewed up even
faster.
