Community Feedback: Character Profile Pages on Forums

Good day all. :)

I would just like to bring this to everyone's attention; as this has been an idea (stolen idea :D ) that I have had regarding ESO for some time now.

Character Profile Pages

What it is and how it works:
A page linked to your forum profile that shows your characters, their item, attribute points and skill builds.
This page may also include player housing details, achievements, playtime, RP tags, faction, addon usage and anything else of interest you can think of really.
I am no game developer but this would supposedly work by sending this information to your character page every-time you you log-out of a character (or quit).
Blizzard has been doing this for some time now, and this is admittedly where the idea comes from: What Blizzard did

The pros:
No more searching for builds online, just check your guild-mates', your in-game friends', that youtuber you like or that guy that constantly kills you in PvP.
High level (serious player) guild recruitment.
Finding and grouping Role-Players
Possibility of being able to identify cheaters/hackers (If they still exist or ever present themselves)
Bragging Rights
Unlocking customization on page via in-game achievements. For instance: those who have ever been Emperor, will receive a 'theme' which reflects this achievement according to their faction.
ZoS being able to sell customization for your page ;) As well as having a monopoly over 3rd party build sites, which are all just a badly made mess in my opinion.
Youtubers can link their builds in their videos.
And many more.

The cons
None I can think of. (I'm sure this is where the community will help me out)

Let me and ZoS know what you think of this idea.

    You mean like FFXIV's Lodestone?

    Hmmmm. Well, some may value their privacy and not like having their characters out there for other players to see.

    Other than that, I find the idea intriguing.

    I did think of privacy and left it out of my initial statement on purpose. I suppose that you can have a selection of whether or not you want your profile to be 'public', 'Friends only' or 'Private'. Yes, a lot like Lodestone.

    I can't be the only one that wants this?
