Suggestion: add markers in the Who pane

Hello :-)

Imagine if when one opens the /who list of players on the server, we could see which ones are running MyRolePlay or a similar Add-On?

Being able to see their character description could be quite nice too, but non-essential.

The main point is, to allow RP PUGs! Last night I rolled on an RP server, met a few people who weren't running MyRolePlay, and began wishing for such a feature.

A couple of additional thoughts:
 * Best would be if it displays a little icon next to each player's name; marking them as Roleplaying and Looking For Contacts, Roleplaying as a Storyteller, etc.... to show whether they'd be interested in participating in PUG roleplay
 * A more complicated way to address this would be to create a window similar to WoW's LFG interface, wherein players can advertise RP events/stories they'd like to run, and which dungeons (if applicable) they'd like to run. Though maybe this part would be better as a separate add-on.

You already can to an extent; open the Social window, and select Chat, and in the custom chat channel list, select xtensionxtooltip2. Every user using any FlagRSP-compatible addon will be in that channel.

As for icons, and descriptions, and a special window for it, it'd be a bad idea to implement such a feature the way the communication is currently designed as it'd need to query the entire server, which would be a rather impressive flood of traffic.

Further, such a feature might actually disappear in some hypothetical future version, traded with not having to use a chat channel anymore.

Ah, I see. Fair enough.

The chat channel will suit me well, I think. Icons would be nice but purely from a laziness perspective, now that I know about the chat channel...

Thanks for the detailed info! Appreciated.
