What is the most morally corrupt thing you have done in a video game?

This will probably get buried at this point but whatever. Back in the early 2000’s, I can’t remember exactly what year, around the time classic RuneScape was really taking off. I convinced a really high level player that I worked for customer service, and eventually was able to get their username and password. This was back when most kids were still naive (myself included), and scams like this hadn’t really become so ubiquitous so most people didn’t really know any better yet. It took all night to convince this player, like the better part of 6 hours. I remember barely getting any sleep and being exhausted at school the next day. Anyway, after hours of working on my exam, they finally gave me their username and password. I logged onto their account, changed the password and I stole everything. I took their gold, items, gear, all of it. I remember being blown away because this player had crazy rare items I hadn’t ever even seen before. The gear and gold I stole ended up skyrocketing me to a place in the game I probably would never have gotten to without. The player was devastated, and begged me to return their account through her brother’s character after they realized what happened. I felt bad enough stealing all their stuff so I gave the account back, minus all the items and gold of course. Years later I still think about this, and it makes me feel like a monster. I was a stupid kid who was too selfish to realize I probably ruined the game for this person. Those items and all that gold probably took ages to acquire, and stole it all without a second thought. I can’t remember what the account was called, but if you’re somehow reading this, I’m sorry.
