It doesn't matter how much he plays. Personally I don't think a developer should be playing at all. It has to much potential to corrupt, you either do one or the other. There is a reason if you play D&D you don't play DM and a player.
Regardless of what Xzerion's real intentions were, if he didn't play the game (especially in the lead guild) then none of this speculation would have happened at all, because you would know his intentions were only to develop.
I would rather have a slower release of content then a chance that the server is corrupted by people who have power and who play the game.

Right, but it's not up to you and that's not really a reasonable request. Developing is a ton of work, and Xzerion is proven aid. The development team obviously feels they need his help, and that's all that matters.
The potential for corruption is mostly paranoia. He doesn't have access to GM ability or the database, and even his developer abilities are abridged. He's probably monitored more closely than anyone on P99. There's no real risk, which is why all the claptrap about Xz is largely swept aside by Nilbog and Rogean. They KNOW he's not using his position to his advantage, because they've made it so he can't.
