On Prexus I ninja looted a white scale off Gorenaire for my Bard's epic. I ran a lvl 1 iksar on my brother's account all the way from Calibis and camped him in the spot where i knew she was usually killed. I waited for a guild named Domus Divinae to kill her, logged on the iksar, sat inside the corpse so i couldnt be seen and spammed loot until i finally got in. Snagged the scale and camped out. Logged back onto my main and sent a tell to a friend in the guild asking about the loot and he complained it was bad, no book no scale. They never suspected a thing. I waited a few days to make sure, then transferred it over to my bard and got my epic shortly after. Told everyone i got lucky and found someone selling the scale, which at the time would never happen.
I was in a top tier guild on prexus for a long time. Became pretty good friends with a couple people and we started to share accounts. When i quit i stole all their droppable items and ebayed everything. Made about 4000 dollars in the end, which at 16 years old was fuckin awesome. I later checked and everyone i stole from had their gear reimbursed by GMs so i don't feel too bad.
I did the fire pot scam a lot when that was found it. Back in the day you would drop plat without any confirmation message. We found out that if you sat in fire, the fire animation would count as a wall, and when you tried to transfer plat it would drop to the ground. So i would spend time sitting in the EC fire pot selling a fungi tunic for a cheap price, tell unsuspecting buyers to come to the firepot, and then when they drop their money i'd snag it and log off. My little brother went to almost every server and did it. Eventually they patched it, but man we made a lot of money doing that.
At some point in velious my friend had a lvl 52 ranger with epics that he quit playing. So we would trade his account for high ticket items, and then wait a day and use the original CD keys and steal the account back. Worked probably 8 times or so before everyone in EC was saying to avoid trading with Teain.
I probably have some more i can't remember. I was a little shit kid
