You know derz always disliked cheating/stealing/botting back in the day.  I remember him dragging yagudos over to the East Saruta cliffs to fuck up the level 1 fishbotters (long before that retarded mob depop patch).  I always thought that was pretty admirable and characteristically gruff of him.  But beyond that, I felt he deserved respect more because of how much took care of his LS and shellmates.  I remember a friend of mine in-game once criticized him for condoning cheating by proxy, since he was the leader of Kupo.  That couldn't have been further from the truth.  Yeah, some of you cheat/cheated.  And yeah, some of you can be just plain assholes.  But derz didn't accept that because he accepted cheating or asshattery.  He accepted that because he was your teammate and friend.  That overrode all the other bullshit.

And now he's gone.  Turned into just another Awesome Great 75 Tarutaru Black Mage.  Yours for only $529.99.  All because one of you cockless fucks has shit for brains and jello pudding for morals.  I don't even care if karma catches up to you for stealing his account, though I'm sure it will.  I'm just sad and disappointed at how the level of cowardice and greed multiplies when you can hide yourself behind a seemingly friendly mask.  And it's just incredible that you'd do that to derz of all people.  What good is being ranked first in kills if you have to rank dead last in friendship and plain human decency to get there?

I guess it's probably time for a little self-reflection, for some of us at least.  I guess there's one or two people that will probably be basking in the fleeting glow of a little petty cash instead.  Though I wonder how pathetic your sorry life/lives must be that you're desperate/depraved enough to hurt somebody else for your own benefit.

Cheers to you derz.  I'm glad to have met you in this little corner of the internet and sorry to see you go.
