He had a developer looking into some basic facts of a yet-to-be released raid zone.

The developer who happens to be guild leader of the guild that is presumed to be the ones in that raid zone first, who would stand to benefit most from their guild leader knowing how VP works on P99 (since damage formulas, AC, resists, etc, are all 'approximated' from Live and therefore the guides that already exist out on the Internet.) Perception is 90% of reality. Why not send a different developer to do that checking to avoid the potential drama?

Is it possible that Xzerion was abusing his position? Sure. It's been a source of speculation for years. But there still isn't any evidence, and given his level of access, it wouldn't be as easy for him to gain an unfair advantage as most seem to believe.

I thought the entire point of Uthgaard's accusations was that Xzerion was on the version of the P99 Veeshan's Peak, after not having done any dev work in a year, running GM commands to glean information from that zone -- information that could be used to fine-tune TR's version of the VP server they are using "to practice" on?
Is there absolute proof that those were the intentions, or that the communication of that data back to whoever's managing the DB for the "practice" server ever took place? No, of course not. That is the "beauty" of it... the only people who can prove it are the ones allegedly doing it, if that was in fact what was taking place -- and they would know that. So all Uthgaard is left with is speculation, and then there's the perception of what's going on behind the scenes that the rest of us are considering 90% reality, because... come on... can anyone make this look more suspicious if they actually tried?
You got a dev who also has a play character. Fine.
That character also happens to be guild leader of a guild. Eh, okay.
That guild also happens to be the guild that gets most of the raid targets on the server. Come on now.
The dev was poking around in VP and there is news of a "guild practice VP server" going up for that guild. Seriously?!?!?
Whatever the true story is... someone has GOT to understand how this looks to the rest of the server.
