This, imho, is an awesome site simply because it shows experience with each individual instance, and that to me is the only thing someones decision to invite someone or not.

If you have a healer asking to run something, and you pull him up on armory, he has low spellpower, then you go to this site, and he’s ran the heroic 10 times then he must know what the heck he is doing? Maybe people should be asking others, “How many times have you healed this heroic?” instead of “Whats your spellpower at?”

It’s also a very clean a quick website, so bravo on that!

I’m definitely not going to argue that people aren’t fair about PUGs though. Anytime someone makes a LFG request and demands to know Class/Spec/DPS I immediately disregard asking to join their group.

I would argue that PUG Checker could be used to prove to anyone who questioned you that you’re more than capable of finishing an instance because you have visual proof at how many times you’ve finished it before.

As a healer, I would get asked, over and over and over…what’s your spell power? I’d tell them, if they didn’t think it was high enough, I’d never hear from them again. I remember a Mag PUG once, I was near the bottom of the pool for spell power of all the healers. I didn’t get a healing assignment but was assigned to raid healing since my spell power was “low”. As it turned out most of the other healers went OOM before the fight was over, I was one of two healers left at the end of the fight with mana. I remember being frustrated about it because they didn’t check my MP5 which was highest of the group or my total mana pool which also was highest. It made me upset because I was being judged on one factor, total spell power, without other healing factors being counted. If you go OOM is your spell power going to do anything for you then? Now I wasn’t asking to be main tank healer, but based on my spell power they judged me incapable.

Unfortunately, as a healer, this has not been the only time. I had run roic Botanica a million times, but would get declined invite by some groups based on my spell power. Even the other night as I was in queue for either roic Nexus or UK, which I have done successfully on several occasions, I was asked about my spell power and was not asked to join the group because that person decided it was too low, nevermind that I’ve done it before without trouble.

Now I certainly understand that people generally dislike PUGs and so I should expect such evaluation, but at the same time, I get frustrated when they look at just one factor in healing (for example) when so much more goes into healing.

So I too will agree with Korixys, the numbers can only tell so much, but at least yes, you’ll be able to see if someone has completed the instance before which could be helpful.
