I actually figured he was patterned after the in-game boss just because I've never been on a game forum where someone WASN'T named after the end boss, except during one closed beta where who the end boss was was kind of a spoiler and not to be discussed on the forum just in case someone got inside the private forum who shouldn't have, so the boss's name was only used on Skype. I've been referenced in a game or two myself for various reasons, so I know the feeling.
Sometimes people are just disheartening. You pop on a forum after playing a game awhile, make a semi-lengthy post - a few questions about design decisions, a couple of suggestions as someone who's not only an avid gamer, but has worked inside the industry since before he could drive legally, maybe post a couple of tricks you found to ask if they're intended to be that effective or kind of near exploit status, et cetera, and getting a response that is either in essence or word for word "ur an idiot stfu n00b." I mean obviously not someone to take seriously, but if you don't get any kind of intelligent response along with that, it makes you wonder.
