Oh please.. I have 2 things named after my toon that were brought into the game by the glorious, err Murderous Mesanna (before anyone jumps the horse here, I was NOT disrupting an event). And I can say without any eqivication.. it is a wonderful thing. I would gladly jump through hoops to have more items with my character's name on it.
So, as so rightfully stated in previous posts.. I call BULL on the OP. The entire story is not out there and even if what was relayed was the complete god's honest truth.. then shut up, sit down and man up!
