Q:

Hi,

I was planning to enhance one of my application with a localization feature and wanted to know if it was ToS compliant since it is mainly used for WvW.

Th idea is te represent all players of a given faction on a given map.

The location of each player is retrieved from the MumbleLink API.
Each player will be required to enter an API key in the application (account access only) to check their server affiliation.

The server part of my app will check against the GW2 API which server a client belong to and send to every player the positions of the players that are on his map from his server only.

Optionally, a custom “password” could be set for small groups that would want to keep their location secret.

That feature would be optional and completely disabled if an API key is not provided to the client (and the server would not respond to any request not providing a valid API Key).

Would that kind of application be ok to use in accordance to the game and ANet ToS ?

Thanks for your answers
