For a fight that has a healing factor the numbers will be off, there is nothing that we can do about this. We rank raids by dps, so even if a guild takes slightly longer to kill a mob, but their dps is higher, they will be ranked above a guild that takes less time to kill the boss, but has a lower dps.

@Malan

Yes, we do have a valididty check. Multiple layers actually. As stated in the faq, we compare each kill to a known baseline that's correct. After this we see if there were dual reports uploaded that have the same kill time/dps time. We find a lot of people upload anonymous reports, and then instantly upload a guild report. This is all done automatically. Some stuff still gets through and we have a secondary check that we run ourselves to validate/invalidate reports.

If a guild has two reports for the same boss on the same day with different times. We take the one that has a longer time, since it contains more data. If both times are the same, but the dps is different, same thing as before, we take the one with the higher dps since it has more data in the combat log.

I hope this helps, and as i mentioned, email us (or post on our brand new forums!) any questions you may have.

Cheers
