I think it'd be a good idea actually.
And hey, music and such isn't useless. >>;; It kills time, so it has a point to it
I support this though, it's tiring to wait in game for the person you want to PvP but you see them on forums all the time... then they just run away when they see your level ((c'mon, lvl 83 priest vs a lvl 88 hunter? that's just... bleh.))
It would be pretty useful.
