The original DnD and ADnD where based on murder hobo's and hirelings. Tenser of Tensers Transformation had hirelings. Bigby and his crazy team where all played by the same player. Although originally you could be a murder hobo, it wasnt the best way to play because 1 GP = 1 XP, so looting things was far better than murdering things.
For example, in the original Red Box DnD Rules https://cdn.preterhuman.net/texts/gaming_and_diversion/RPG/TSR%201011%20Basic%20Rules%20Set.pdf
Goblins are worth 5xp each. It might have 1 gp if you are lucky. You get 1 xp for 1 GP so if you could sneak in, avoid all encounters, and escape with all the gold you level up super fast.
