I was so embarrassed and angry at myself I cried. Then I didn't play GW for a week.

Maybe when I was raging on my guildies about our gvg build (during the GvGs of course^^) because the hexes i used didn't stay more than 5 sec, so I was thinking that hexes weren't addapted to the current metagame (keep on saying that there were too many hex removal).

Then after 2 GvG I realised that I had 0 in curses.

A pretty bad one for me was during the headstart event for Factions and I was doing Vizunah Square. I go in with henchmen just to see how it is and I almost wet myself when people started talking in local chat ("Co-operative Mission wasn't in my vocabulary yet"). Took me a couple go-back-to-town-why-isn't-this-mission-working-ofmogmasodfmwrftwfw1!111 to realize that the mission was two separate parties .

Ehhh this just happened around 3 hours ago but... In a mission someone had a major rune of vigor drop, didn't need it so he decided to sell it too the group. I wanted to buy it and he said cheap 2K. I didn't have enough and told them it takes me a day or two of doing stuff and such to reach 1.

I always realized I was really poor ingame, but just now figured out how much so.

So it makes sense this was the ThunderHead Keep mission. This was after asking how much a staff wrap of 20% enchant was worth...I thought 500g was a good price. They decided to be nice and tall me what it really was.

My most embarrassing moment would have to be from 6 months ago, going through all the missions before Ember with my E/W(water/swordsmanship). Only to get there and realize: "what the hell was I thinking!", promptly deleting the character and starting over. Haven't made a warrior or elementalist since.

Secondly would have to be a fluxuating mouse wheel leading me to sell brohn's holy rod(which I was using) for a handful of gold to a merchant. Needless to say the mouse just sort of fell apart in my hand; after I smashed it against the desk a few times, good thing it was still under warranty.

P.S thank you guild wars for the "are you sure you want to sell this item" update.

The artwork for Sig of Devo is so similar to Blessed Signet. I rolled a boon prot in a hurry and guess which sig I took?
I've done that so so many times

There's also the going into HA as an SB Infuser with 10 inspiration 9 prot and 14 divine favor.... oops attributes. I have a horrible horrible tendency to forget to set them.

Thankfully, I've only pulled off that stunt in GVG once, and that was during a freeze ^^ thankfully.

My worst 1 was when i was doing TA with some friends, and some guy on the opposing team said "Press Alt+F4" for high scores. and this was back in the day way back when i just started GW and i was nervous and i felt pressure playing pvp. So the noob that i am pressed alt+f4. i realized what i did 2 seconds later and i logged back in, my excuse to friends? "my little brother pressed the restart button".

it was so embarrasing. needless to say, i learned my lesson
My most embarrasing as well.

This seems to be not only embarrising but self idiocy topic, I like it, so here goes nothing.

1. During my Fissure of Woe for money frenzy I generally sold shards as fast as I could them gone, for the right price, and in the mission one time I had gotten two and someone told me that they wanted them, it was for the market price so I said sure, someone offers to trade with me and gives me the right amount of money, I throw up the two shards and accept, and I look at the guy's name and recognize, it was another guy, and the other guy was ready to get two shards but I didn't have the shards, I gave him one for free, but it was still really embarrising even though he said it was fine later.

2.Ranks up there witht he time I joined a GvG only guild when I had only like three gvgs under my belt, claiming I was experienced, but I only was at HA:S

3.This one is self idiocy, I think I've deleted about the amount of 10k and some random greens including Gorrel's Cane, the Rock Molder, and something else I can't really remeber, on a PvP character when I was remaking it.

4.And there's also the fact that I've had those days when I brought Balathazar's Aura instead of Balathazar's Spirit when I was bonding, that had to be the most embarrising considering I was like, "Oh crap, sorry guys I've somehow run out of energy, bonds are going to go down." When the offense is doing really well.

5.I think I've casted twenty-five energy spells I've inspired hexed off when I hit the wrong button, that has to be bad too.

6.Oh yeah, and that time when I catapulted half my team, of course I told them not to go in but it still amounts to the same when they're cussing you out

Hey bspike man...

Actually this thread had me thinking about all the really noob and dumb things I've done in this game.

And discussed them last night with Hykosis. OMG I'm a noob still!!!

I used to think BR was Blood renewal ...

Charmed Animal - I didn't know you had to actually charm one, I thought it was already equipped and argued for 10 minutes in a Tombs run that my pet was there! To be told I had to charm one first.

I didn't know how to hire a henchie when I had no gold.

I thought I was an invinci necro in my presearing armor when I hit Ring Of Fire ... I never knew you could buy new armor and weapons.

I've tried to wear the Snowman summoner hat, and told a friend it was broken because it wouldn't fit on my head inventory.

I sold roughly 50 ectos to the merchant because I thought they were worth nothing.

Yup .. and there's like a list of 100 more things ...

I'm glad I know now ... but still do some weird yet dumb things. Glad my friends and I get a laugh out of it every now and then.

My first time running a water ele flag runner in gvg. I kept using Frozen Burst against far away mobs. Finally someone on the other team says "your ele would be more effective if he read the spell description for frozen burst". My guildies called him out for trash talking but i was too embarassed to tell them he was right!
