Even when the passwords are hashed and they need to brute-force decode the password to see which password would match "drg8512gsgdrg5dr6sa4f8" (hashed password, which they took from your database), what would they need it for? They can see the hashed password so they can see the data as well, which usually isn't encoded in any way (money, score, kills, ...).

Server owners want to see their player's password so that they can use their account on anither server.
