Default Worst thing you've done in EQ

I've only been reading these forums for a few months, so I can't say much, but what I can say is they're boring as shit right now. Aside from a couple name and shames, the entirety of R&F is BDA and their fan/hate club all circle jerking each other while refusing to make eye contact or enjoy it. No one cares anymore. Or hell maybe they do, I dunno, but god damn it's old as shit. I assume most of us read these forums while bored at work (if you don't have a job and are reading these forums please punch yourself in the face repeatedly with a hammer), so how bout some story time in an attempt to liven things up?

What's the worst thing you've ever done in EQ? Live or P99. We all know its "just a game", but this is the type of game that can really bring out the worst in people. Stealing items, stealing accounts, RMT, ninja looting, etc. Make an anonymous account if you must, but let's hear it!

I'll go first, and maybe this wasn't the "worst" thing I ever did, but it's one of my most memorable. The Story of how my bard got his epic -

This was right after the velious launch and I had a lvl 60 bard on the Prexus server. I had everything I needed for my bard except the elusive white dragon scale. Being above level 52, the only way to get that scale is from Gorenaire, and at the time I was in a guild that wasn't quite good enough to take her on. Plus, no one really seemed to kill her at the time and she'd wander DL for day's at a time. Getting a scale legit was pretty much out of the question. So what's a guy to do? Get creative!

I had access to an account no one played anymore that still had a few months on the sub. So I made an iksar monk and got him to lvl 5ish, then ran him all the way to DL. I made sure to give him the shortest name I could, and put all my points into sneak. I camped him on the wall and kept an eye on the zone until a few days later I got lucky and a guild called Domus Divinae decided to kill her. I parked my bard in zone and logged on to my monk. As soon as gore went down, while rezzes and whatnot were happening, I snuck in and sat down right in the biggest part of the corpse, so you couldn't see my nametag through the body and began spamming /loot. This was before there was a timer saying how long until open loot, so I just spammed it. Eventually I got into the corpse and there it was looking right back at me, a beauty of a white scale. Snagged it, re hid myself, and camped out.

After that, I logged back on my bard and sent some friendly tells to some of my friends in Domus. "hey man, how'd the gore kill go?" and everyone said the same thing "kill went alright, but the loot was shit. No book or scale [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]". And I laughed and I laughed. not one person mentioned a ninja looter or anything, just a bad loot table.

To be safe I waited a week before transferring it over to my main. I ended up telling my guild something along the lines of I purchased it for 80k from some guy quitting the game. A few days after that I was running around with my brand new bard epic. And the rest was history.

Let's hear some more stories! I've got a few more juicy ones if this thread actually takes off.
