puggers.gg - Form M+ groups before you log in (Works for both US and EU)
TL;DR: Made puggers.gg — post and apply to M+ keys without logging in, leaders see applicant history and your private favourites/blacklists, no public ratings ever. Feedback welcome.
Hey gamers, I've been loving the M+ content this season, but I think many of you can relate, the process of finding a group can take forever, especially as a DPS. So you just afk in Silvermoon for hours wasting your active consumes, and end up logging off without doing any runs.
Premade group finder is an amazing addon that alleviates a lot of the issues of the in-game group finder. But I think there are still gaps that need filling; like can’t be playing on an alt while you queue, or finding a group ahead of time when you know you’ll be ready to game at 9pm Thursday night.
So while afking in queue, I decided to create something that can solve the issues I've been experiencing – puggers.gg
You sign in with Discord, link Batttle.net, and your characters auto-sync with RaiderIO scores. You can browse keys for tonight before you even log in, apply on whichever character you want without having to swap. When you're the leader, at a glance see the applicant's character and highest achieved IO, links to their RaiderIO and WCL profile, whether you've favourited them before (applicants blacklisted by you would be auto-declined), and any notes you've left about them in past runs.
You can favourite people you'd run with again, and privately blacklist the ones you wouldn't. Blacklist is visible only to you, nobody's getting a "you've been blacklisted" notification or anything. You can only favourite or blacklist a member after a run is confirmed completed via RaiderIO. And no public ratings, pretty sure those just turn into harassment and trolling over time.
Obviously, this tool is ineffective until more people start using it. And honestly, I might be just salty because I had to afk in queue a whole night the other day, and this tool is unnecessary. Which is why I wanted to get some feedback from the community before I spend more time on this.
Please check it out and let me know what you think. Drop bugs and feedback in the Discord (discord.gg/xDYQCsRPjK) or just reply here.
Thanks!
