Okay,
 
Tried to settle this over email, but Carbine asked to make a public discussion about it, so here goes.
 
I'm currently working on a new fansite project for WildStar.
There's a few ideas I have in mind that I want to implement on my website that would be nice community features.
So to start the discussion, here's what I'd like to "have":
 
API/Call to check the online status of the servers
Possibility to authenticate against Carbine systems and see online status of friendsThinking CAS like approach here, so I dont stare the user data, just the token
Token gives me account reference so I can check their friends and online status
API call to get equipment info from a character, ala WoW Armory
That's what I currently have in mind.
Anyone care to chime in?

			Is there any way to possibly get guild features through an addon?  Like being able to check our guild bank or, heaven forfend, access our guild chat?	
----
			Please make these things happen- that's all I ask.	
----
			somthing like a wow armory for a site... that would be nice, it will become a referent in the community	
----
			If we had two-way access to guild/circle chat, I would probably lose my job.	
----
			biography tab for character profiles would be nice...

Sounds like a lovely idea.
 
 
 
So... I go to some non-Carbine website and authenticate into Carbine's systems while I'm there, and once it authenticates then it sends information about my friends and online status and equipment back to that non-Carbine website, which that non-Carbine website can compile into a webpage to send back to me?
 
That sounds like a security and harassment problem waiting to happen. If Carbine wants to provide an interface to allow its players to log in and do this through Carbine's website, great. But I'm not at all keen on the idea that some third-party website with no responsibilities to me whatsoever can be used to monitor whether I'm online or not even if I'm not using that site at all, simply because I'm on the friends list of someone else who does use the site.
 
No thanks.
