I've known this friend for years but when he talks about the game and how some things are fixed, he's just very disconnected with it although he's a higher-up in the sandbox department. Even fixes that involve his department he seems to be disconnected with, even claiming that he created two raid weapons being Collective Obligation and Euphony. There's too much to question about the things he says that makes me believe he's an actual employee.

Did he do the pretending on public social media or on YouTube or to journalists? If not, nobody cares. People boast about crap like that all the time in private, especially to people they want to impress or if they just don’t like how junior their role really is. My buddy used to Wikipedia films when people mentioned them in conversation, so he could pretend to have deep film knowledge and critique skills rather than actually watching films and making his own conclusions.
