Most of that stuff is bind on pickup so you can’t trade it or sell it to other people. Some of it is bind on equip so it can be traded or sold. They pretty much just wanted gold to sell. When I last played, if someone’s account was broken into, they’d just liquidate whatever was in their inventory, withdraw whatever gold they could from the guild bank, and transfer that to other characters they controlled. Then they’d sell the gold for money.
