Guild Wars 2

That would be awesome, I just thought a chat channel would be easier for users to understand and control. I’m cautious of the consequences if third party tools are allowed to interfere with user controls.

I’m also interested in ways to push any type of information to the user, not just chat codes.

Self chat would also be useful without API access. Many people paste wiki links into chat to see waypoints or skins so they can click on them in-game.

I know API access to in-game chat is a can of worms due to issues like spam and abuse, but what about having a “self” chat channel that only the account player can see?

API access to this “self” channel will be authenticated, which should mean that account owners only receive chat messages from sources they authenticate.

This would be tremendously useful for third party utilities to send users in-game object links (like waypoints, items, skins, etc) and other useful info without requiring application switching or manual input.
