The dumbest things I've probably done:

I first bought guild wars, wow this game is cool, first character was a warrior (of course), and did the quest to get 2nd pro, got it and it was a mesmer. I then played for a while in Pre. I didn't play after a while cause I thought the game was boring now. Come back a couple weeks later and everyone has CAPES! WTF is a cape and how do you get 1? I then join a guild and get a cape. I then later on get past pre and start up the main game. Wow big map now. I play my W/Me until I say to myself I want to have a different 2nd pro, so I delete my first and only character at the time, to only create one with the same name but with a different 2nd pro. And I later find out that you can change your 2nd pro later in the game. Another dumb thing, after I created my new character, I just stopped playing guild wars for a while. BTW, I stopped right before the halloween event. So I didn't get the special hat. I also created a 2nd character, a N/Mo. I also ended up deleting my necro before I found out that you could switch your 2nd pro. (but I got further with this charater, got to LA, and run to Drok's, with max armor.)

I deleted my W/Me to make a W/Mo with same name.
I deleted my N/Mo to make a N/Me with different name/gender, a cool one at that (The Dead Dude).

So basically me not knowing about being able to switch your 2nd pro screwed me over.

I've deleted well over 20 characters, some of which were lvl20, 1 of which had 3 sets of 15k and all primary skills.

I did it in an effort to quit...didn't work.

Wow, there are some great stories here.

Mine was in FoW, playing through the mission and just finished the first couple seemed a good point to have a cuppa, so tell everyone I'll be a couple of mins and they all say OK. Get back to the computer and they've all gone chest hunting, so I go to that lovely list of players and double click on a name, then start typing a message saying, "back now, lovely cuppa etc etc". Look up a couple of seconds later and I'm running straight through a load of monsters and everyone is screaming at me.

Yep, they'd carefully moved thier way around these baddies and were over the other side from where they left me... Nearly wiped out the entire team. Thankfully we got rezed and completed it all in the end. But I felt soooo stupid...

Tried to go to kryta in presearing and I got to the very edges of the map and threw a big tantrum over how they wouldn't let me go to kryta in the mountains=(

I also got lost in Wizards Folly. Yes, Wizards Folly. It took me 1 hour to figure out I should use the map to get to ascalon.

We had a wammo wearing uninfused Drok's armour during THK with us last night. I nominate it as the dumbest thing he ever did.

p.s. And yes, I was the monk. Once again..dumb!

Eh I just ran around in the Scarred Earth Map for about 6-8 minutes while the starburst group tried to kill me. They only managed to cause I had about a 4 second lag on every skill I used and kept rubberbanding everywhere. GL to them though were a decent team.

Dumbest thing I've done on GW? hmm were to start?
GW was my first online so I was a total noob in the beginning but I've learned my lessons now lol

Warning: get ready to wet your pants in laughter

1) found a vial of black dye in pre without realising how much it was worth and so traded it for a blue dye for my warrior's armour

2) turned down the offer of a crystalline sword for 5k (it was alot of money to me! )

3)doing missions with axe mastery set to 0 after doing runs wondering why the hell my char is being a fag to lvl 10 monsters

4) finally saved up 130k (such a proud moment ) bought a req 10 (REQ 10 FFS) 15^50 shadowblade for 27k + 20/20 mod for 65k + 30hp mod for the rest of my cash and never being able to sell it...in the end I made 60k back

5) found a longsword with 20/20 but when salvaged I got 22 iron ingots out of...

Well there you have it I hope you enjoyed laughing at my misery and stupidness

Don't feel bad for me though as now I am raking in 5 ectos a day with my own solo UW build

doing chest runs in nahpui quarter:

i had already opened 2/5 of the chests, we were at the last one and no one would open so i looked into my inventory for the classic 'drop a gold to decieve them' trick. i didnt have any unid golds, and the only thing that would look realistic would be one of my shields. unfortunately for me, i was so tired i choose my perfect celestial shield req 8 str , -2enchant, -2 stance insetad of my normal crappy celestial shield. lets just say ill never do it again because an assassin who was running with us ended his 'recall' enchant on me and picked it up before i could react. gee gee

In the Deep, we had a really good group except this W/A with no icy weapon, no knockdown, who kept talking bs..... basically a perfect example of a noob, the real kind. So near the end, he eventually annoyed us so much that the monks let him die.
Then the rest of us went to kill Kanaxai. We killed him, but the noob got the Edge, unable to pick it up, obviously (being dead). So we started talking who gets it and such and also ressing the other fallen team members. Well...I accidentally ressed him as well and he picked up the green.
The feeling was one of the worst I've ever felt. If anyone from those 10 people reads this, I'm so very sorry. If I could give a Kanaxai edge to all of you, I would.

Dumbest thing recently was accidently saccing my MM to death... been playing AotL style for ages, recently capped Flesh Golem... the difference in life that BotM sacrifices is quite big. Almost wiped out the party.

The other dumb 1 was joining pugs on my monk, what a stupid idea that was.

After running a Fire ele in Aspenwood, I wanted to switch to Earth. So, I equipped the earth head gear, slapped on some Earth skills and clicked "Enter Mission."

*sigh*

...my Stone Daggers only hit for -5 dmg and my wards only lasted 5 seconds.

For 20 seconds, Echo is replaced with the next skill you use. Echo acts as this skill for 20 seconds.

This is the dumbest thing in GW thread... not the GW forums thread.


Recently... playing AotL MM for ages and capping Flesh Golem... the next group i accidently sacced myself to death and killed half the group Theres a big difference between 20 health and 80 health on BotM...

The other thing would be joining pugs as a monk... the number of morons using Starter Armour late game is ridiculous. If i come across anymore of those leeching twats i'm just gonna leave.

this just happened an hour ago. and im still so pissed of right now i almost broke my hand slamming it into the wall .

ok so i buy this 15^50 req 9 unmodded fellblade for 80k, intending to resell it.
i put it up on forums for an auction, only got one bid of 90k, so i waited, then today i said "this thing isnt worth 100k, so i might as well sell now". as you couldve guessed, i sold it for 90k in about 30 more minutes. then 5 minutes after i sell someone said in all chat "BUYING 15^50 req 9 or less fellblade!!!!" so i, wanting to know if he wouldve offered more, asked " how much would you offer for it" he says, "100k+20ectos". and i, being so mad still, am still asking myself one question... WHY THE HELL COULDNT I WAIT 5 MORE MINUTES?!?!?!?!?! as i wouldve made another 200k.
