Martin was far from the only one offended.
Several players raised their voices at Raze Dawg as well, their anger sharper than simple loyalty to a famous guild master. Cassandra Selfmore was their benefactor too. She had pried into their real lives, just as she had with Martin, but she had also made up for it by giving them a chance to build something new in both the real world and the game world.
To those players, Raze Dawg's words landed as something far uglier than an insult against a celebrity. He had mocked the person who had changed their lives.
"You're so dumb for calling Miss Cassandra a fraud!"
"He must be jealous of her fame and influence!"
"All he has is his full gear! Nothing else in real life!"
Of course, not everyone there had been desperate in real life. The last comment came from a small business owner who had made it in the industry on his own and simply happened to be a fan of Cassandra. He had every right to insult Raze Dawg that way.
