Another reason NOT to treat the AS as a GuildProfiler/CharacterProfiler Update - which means wiping the member and players table, and rebuild the lot.
As seen right now, Notes info gets lost, as players sacs/banks and as usual, small players (bankers) are being thrown out.
Since the beginning, Poeter tried to maintain a solution where Guild updating from AS would be the same thing as updating from GP+CP - using the hooking system exposed by WoWroster.
We might as well face it : is not quiet the same thing.
My point of view is that retrieving the info from the Armory is a huge job, and Ulminia is pulling it off nicely.
But the integration part with the roster should be broken (rewriten, using a proprietary system), leaving it up to the roster admin to decide :
Update info for a player if AS gives newer info
Update a from [equiped items/talents/high facts/etc(what is exposed by the Armory, today, and tomorrow)] or a subset of this.
etc.
AS is and will be a special type of addon - why not treating it this way ? It will guarantee a huge audience.
