Can I ask which guild this is?

I've played around with using guild notes to store player position in an addon and putting a "eye" icon over another non-grouped player. I found that if I updated the guild note more frequently than once every ten seconds I got kicked. It did work though, although, obviously, unless the other player stayed still for 10 seconds it wasn't really precise.

I thought about adding this functionality to Piece of Candyl but given how laggy it is, I wasn't sure it was worth it. I also wasn't sure that ZOS wouldn't nerf or remove the functionality if guild notes were used for this purpose. Also, it seems like this mechanism could be abused by bad actors who join the guild just to see where people are.
