The game devs often make up a character and play as normal when they're not busy working on the game. One dev in particular was caught creating rares for his alliance mates. Because the alliance in question (Band of Brothers) is extra-powerful and has a very bad reputation, people further insulted them by then calling them Band of Developers.
Now the popular meme is that there is one dev in every alliance and we all pester a random alliance mate to give us rares.
