Blizzard can attempt to do better. It is still in a beta stage, (good luck) but looks somewhat promising at least.

Oh, the things you can do, when Blizzard is kind enough to give you a whole sleuth of data in XML format.
I gotta hand it to them, the site looks really, really cool. Unfortunately it looks like someone over there is using this project to learn AJAX, so the site is a complete clusterfuck right now.
Even with all the errors, I’m still refreshing my pages over and over again trying to spy on people from my server. Definitely cool. One of the things that CTProfiles has that the Armory doesn’t is the ability to see multiple gear sets from the same person, so right now if the person logged out in their mount gear, all you get when you look at the person is riding crops and mithril spurs. I can’t wait until the performance improves, I’ll probably lose my job.
Sort of fun looking up the gear and talent specs of people who’ve kicked my butt over and over in PvP.
This is certainly going to piss off people who lie about their spec to get group and raid spots. I mean normally it doesn’t really matter but if the person is incompetent and has their talents all over the place then things get ugly fast.
I want to check it out, but I have yet to get the page to even load. 🙁
It’s been running great for me today, no more javascript errors.
I got the site to load once, but only when I headed there with Safari. Firefox won’t even load the page, despite it being the preferential browser; at least according to the Armory site itself.
No shit, the page is slower than a tortoise and even on modest machines will chew up the resources. AJAX is just horrible, combine it with another resource hog ‘Flash’ to end up with the mother of all f ups of a site.
Couldn’t they actually learn from DAOC’s stats page? Lum did better and over 5 years ago (as far as my brain can remember anyway).
They should just give XML feeds for guilds and characters and forget the lame AJAX attempts.
