Absolutely. Probably more than 80% even
Zonewalk for example is not even able to render the old (pre pop) zones 100% yet. And it has significant performance issues currently. So far its largely only an experiment (built in under 10 days start to finish) to see how far I would get with the chosen tools and the info that could be dug out of this site.
Still, I think this community as a whole does have the required expertise. It would be possible. And to be clear, I am not saying "lets do this" or "I'll turn zonewalk into a full blown client and off we go". My post was out of genuine interest to learn how people feel about the general idea. Being able to leave the confines (and illegality) of using the SOE provided content behind seems such a tempting outlook.
Thanks for everybody's opinions.
Cheers
