Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen's Technical Director caught spawning rare mobs for his guild

Ulmo, aka GM Ryzel, Technical Director and Project Manager for Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen, was outed by a former member of his guild, <Subterfuge> for allegedly spawning rare mobs on the Pantheon live server Black Moon for his guild to repeatedly farm for their coveted loot.

In a now deleted Discord message from Ulmo on the Pantheon Discord, he had claimed to be "trolling."

Ever since this came to light by Discord user and former Subterfuge member Flexler, Visionary Realms has been in full on damage control, with several Discord forum threads being shut down by the company regarding the issue.

Ulmo's guild <Subterfuge> is known to have several members being part of Visionary Realm's "Advanced Testers" program, a hand selected group of players from the community to privately test content and features for the game before they reach the live servers. However, Flexler has claimed this was going on the live Black Moon server, where strict rules are in place against duping, exploitation, and other misconduct. He also claimed that this occurred "multiple times", and with "no testing involved."

What's extremely troubling is as Director of Technology, some of Ulmo's primary duties include being in charge of bans for some of the ongoing dupes and exploits present in Pantheon, as seen from his messages posted in the Pantheon Discord, often disparaging others for their cheating ways.

Several long time Pantheon VIP ($750-1000+ pledge level) members have corroborated Flexler's claims, basically calling it a well-known secret, and that other abuses of power by Ulmo have been made over time.

The outrage is being felt throughout the community, with several high profile community members and guilds considering withdrawing their support from the indie MMO.
