After playing only my warrior for several weeks, I hop on my necro. I run straight into a mob and hit space bar and drop dead in 10 seconds.

Selling ecto for 7g.. then wondering why I couldn't whisper the guy to congratulate him on me being stupid enough to not pick up that it was 7g instead of 7k he put up. It was an indication to take a break.

The guy that bought my Xuekao Daggers for 75k even after I said that it was 10k twice....

After that i just spent all the 75k on ambers that costed like 3k ea....1 week after they were 900g a piece ^^

OOOO well, at least i got my 15k kurzkz earlier ;D

Hehe, those are pretty good ones..

Dumbest thing I've done, create a mule character called "Dont Delete Me", storing my golds + greens on this character. After not using the mule for a long time, I deleted the character to make room for another char. forgetting that it was my mule.

It was a senior's moment... I guess.

That's hilarious. The fact that you had to type out the letters D-O-N-T-space-D-E-L-E-T-E-space-M-E, and still forgot.

Total senior moment.

I was getting my first set of 15k armor for my ele and I had saved up just enough money to get the materials and pay the crafter. Well I had some serious lag going on and I clicked on the gloves and nothing happened. I clicked again and nothing happened. So I clicked again and three gloves appeared in my inventory. I got pretty angry b/c it had taken me about a month to save up all that money.

Played for about 3 hours as a prot monk with all of my points in healing, the whole time trying to figure out why the game was so much harder than usual.

2. playing a boon prot and forgetting to bring boon
3. playing a boon prot with all points in healing
4. actually thinking i could buy a gw account for 100k (heh i learned my lesson, if u cant see it on the trade window dont trade)

since GW is my 1st online game I was a total noob at the start. So I go SOLOING with a Lvl 6 E/Me in Pre-Searing armor (not even collectors) with the following skillbar:

Flare
Aura of Resotration
Conjure Phantasm
Ether Feast
Frozen Burst
Lightning Javelin
Armor of Earth
Firestorm

Wondered that if it was so hard at this stage, how hard will it be later on in the mountains (shiverpeaks) or desert?

Putting points on attributes then picking skills that had no points on their attributes.

Buying when I thought I was selling. (Meh.)

Coming into the game drunk and giving away gold and green items to people I never saw again.

Don't talk to me about senior moments - just plain dumb.

Probably that whole skill point thing...

Playing a curses MM
Playing a pure tank with 15 sword.
Playing with healing skill points and 55 skills. (damn why do I have to cast PS so much?)

NEARLY (caught myself at the last moment) went out into PvE with no attribute points in anything. Here's why:

I was showing GW to a friend of mine and explaining why you can only get to lvl 20, what this means, why this is, and so on. I couldn't remember the total number of attribute points you could get, and since I couldn't be bothered looking it up, I just depleted everything to zero and the total was there at the top. Problem solved, ended explanation, logged off, forgot about it.

Maybe not so much dumb as lazy and forgetful ^_^

chestrunning for almost an hour with 0 points in tactic. took me a lot to realize i forgot to restore my attrib points after i switched 12 in tactics to 12 in swordmanship to test a weapon.
for a good hour i wasn't truly able to understand why healing sig was only 40hp and charge lasted so short

running for a week with a r8 strenght shield, believing it was r8 tactics

When the Factions game was young I bought Ghial's Staff with my warrior for 125k () and was so happy that I had finally got the weapon I really wanted for my necro that I customised it.....
.......as my warrior..... "OH, SH--..." . I wasn't happy anymore... Plus the fact I owed my cousin 30k which I borrowed to buy it (he was rich at the time), when after buyin it I was skint. That didn't help either. Luckily I made the 30k back in a couple of days from extensive periods of Vermin farmin, but 155k was flushed down the pan in a couple of hours in one day... oops.

I woke up early for chest run weekend, because really I already loved chest running. My coffee was still brewing, but I wanted to get started. One of the Alliance guys was selling keys for 500g ea. I said I'd take all he had.

He put 50+ in trade window. I checked my plat -- 40k. Told him "I've only got 40k, better make it 20 keys." He puts 20 keys up, I put 40k, click accept and go running.

It still took me 30 minutes to realize what happened!

Got tricked by my GF into drinking sake...

Logs onto GW, see some guy selling some, I told him I'd buy 100k worth of Ectos... he puts in 15 ectos, I put in around 98.5k or something, hit accept...

After a while, I went to my storage to retrive another 100k for more ectos, but it wouldn't let me withdraw any...after 1 minute of trying to figuring out why I couldn't, I realised I bought them for 985g ><

My first time I did the Fort Ranik Mission, it was with my mes, we turned the corner into the main area, killed the few charr. Then I looked on my radar, and saw a few more to kill, charged head long into them and lasted maybe 5 seconds, took our nuker with me. Luckily the other 2 stayed behind to activate the vid.

Running through the game on my necro. My very first character, died 1708 times in the last 14 months (Bearing in mind that I only died like 1600 in the first two months).

Couldn ever figure out why I died so much and it took me forever to kill stuff, until I was standing in Ring Of Fire and Some guy says. "LoL that is Pre Armor" and I'm like WTF is pre Armor, this Armor rocks. Needless to say for 2 months I never knew you could buy armor, or upgrade weapons.

Pre Armor rocks ... lol.

Side Note: Partner's story ...

He wanted a white tiger and asked a Guildie how to make his normal tiger white. Was told to get 3 silver and 1 dye remover, mix them and apply to pet. he did this a few times, before he went back to ask the guildie what he was doing wrong. hrmm .. let's say I still hold the cake on dumb things done in game and I still do it. lol

where to start...well let see first time thru last days dawn partner said to bring a heal for the king...I was w/r...brought Comfort Animal to heal the king. Worked out well as i just ran in circles pinging comfort animal...

The wife's story: She attempted to cap skills from other players in random arenas with a cap sig. needless to say she is always entertaining.
