In the context of joining a group for Savage raid content, I look at it more like applying for a job. When you're joining a clear party, you're presenting yourself as a qualified player. I don't think it's unreasonable for the party leader to "check your resume", so to speak.

"So, you're qualified for this position?"
"Oh yes, I'm very skilled!"
"Alright, let me just check your references...
Okay, I called your last job and they said you were fired for gross incompetence."

And if you don't bring your resume, you shouldn't be surprised when your potential employer is concerned that you're obfuscating your past job history.
