@Artemis I’m currently working on pretty much exactly what you explained in your user stories.
On the client side its a c# app that uses the MumbleLink API to find your current char and worldId and if you have input your own API key it will show you other users on that worldId that have done the same (meaning if you are in a raid instance you will see your squad members). As I’m not entirely confident a name searchable list would be preferable for privacy related issues.
There is a server component that caches the data and due to rate limiting I’m looking into letting the client pull its own build info and have it push it to the server to save on calls instead.
It would be nice if there was a “last updated” variable or something added to the character API so you know how accurate/recent the build you are getting is. Because as Artemis said the update is really slow.
The ideal option for real time ToS compliant gear checking would be if it was added to the MumbleLink API then you could just pull it from the gw2 client real time with no load on the API whatsoever.
