Open API for front-end mods, like secret world?

[chuckv3]

One of the best features of Secret Word (and Legends) was being able to write one's own front-end UI add-ons. Just don't use Flash like they did :)

 

There are already tons of client-side mods that were done via careful reverse-engineering or "PIGG DIVING", but why not formalize it? Would that be some kind of violation of the NCSoft terms? If not, would you allow a team of folks to work on "custom plugins" API? Having experience with android APIs (and Flash, Java, various ECMA scripts, and all manner of programming), I'd be willing to volunteer or participate in the effort.

 

And yes, we could have restrictions against combat-related functions if that's what the team wants. I'm thinking more about making active interactions less tedious, like "delete all white salvage", "move all to auction house", "put all into storage", "sell all enhancements" and assorted things like that, instead of repeating keystrokes, button clicks or mouse drags to the point of carpal tunnel syndrome.
