Thumbs up Data Sharing In Groups

Could the game developers implement a small API for sharing data between players live?

Currently, addons that share stats between players in a group (dps, hps, ultimates, location) that are critical for coordination (such as ulti' drop timing) use a "hack" to achieve this. EVENT_MAP_PING often through an addon will repeat this event, which results in errors, crashes, and general incompatibility between addons. (The use of this feature resulting in errors and crashes is a game bug.)

Adding the API to handle data sharing will greatly improve the quality-of-life of most of the core game population, and will be greatly appreciate by the addon developer community. Even if limited to only accommodate how we currently use it. Thank you.


Some of the current addons using this:
