What is your point? As Mike Schramm said a few posts above yours you can't tell someones skill level from their armory, all it tells you is their gear and what bosses they have killed (and they could have been carried through that). So what do you expect PUG's to do? Spend a few weeks breaking in every random they meet in trade chat? Take peoples claims that they are skilled above their experience at face value ('cause wow players never lie)?

If you don't want to be judged on your gear and want a chance to prove your skill then join a guild. PUG's are never going to attempt to judge a player like a guild will. This is simply a fact of human psychology: if you have a short time to assess someone you do it on obvious externals.

In the real world we have an armory called a "resumé" to try and get in a "group", even if you could do the job you will find most "groups" judge you on the arbitrary bit of paper.
