After having this discussion with some friends I decided it would be a cool topic to discuss. What would you do if you could go back to the first day of GW launch with all knowledge of builds, professions, farming, pvp etc.
Personally I would head straight to UW and FoW and farm me some FoW armour with 55 prot bond monk and then set up a team to own halls.
If you could...

It would be really boring to return to launch day with all that knowledge as there wouldn't be any fun to be had from figuring it out for yourself. You'd soon get bored and go play another game.

Buy a bagazillion ectos, then do the 55hp shit SECRETLY, then i'd make shitloads off of the drops+the ecto's I bought (which were 300g back at the start)
Caelus The Fallen
Sometimes I think it would be nice to go back to launch with only the knowledge I had at launch... those were the days... simpler times indeed...

Id go back and sit in front of the rare material trader 
TBH i couldnt go thru it again..im having troubles trying to convince myself to log on these days..old ascalon is ok once around

chest farm arid sea 24/7

I'd go straight to Tombs (old HA) and spirit spam like crazy, lapping up free fame while stocking up on 100k a pop sigils.
ischuros
sigils used to be 100k bac at the begining?1 looking at th trader yesterday there at 10k. wow. They used to be really expensive, now they're really cheap. i think we'll see alot of n00b/ebay guilds popping p.
Anyway, i would like to go back, but with only the knowledge I had when I first played. Pre searing with old ischie over tehre was extremely fun. Then the wammos learnt how to dance......

Helll is for Heroes

If only I were smart enough to take the advantage of buying up materials when they were cheap. =/ Actually early in the game I found out about many nice ways to make money. For example there were 4 chests outside Port Sledge that you could just open, since they weren't locked. I got a bunch of mods that were pricey at that time.
Gwmaster
i would farm the griffons to death and uw
but i wich i could go back and forget all that i learnd and be happy even if i find a purple req7 10-14 wingblade with no mod
<--my first purple.i was like wooooooot1!!. and then ill discover the drakes....anyways it was nice back then.
and there was more people that wanted to do missions/quests. /sigh

Carinae
Get'em while they're hot! I got HoD Swords! I got 15% FFS! Only 400k each! Get'em while they're hot.....
But the best thing I'd do if I could go back, would be to raise a massssssive minion army...one...last...time. (sniff, I never got to say goodbye)

I don't know. I spent months figuring it out and get my first character through all the missions to the end. I must have spent an eternity in the desert, finished the game, and then was told you could get an extra 30 attribute points off of a couple of quests.
It was a pain, but it was very satisfying doing it all the way through legitimately. Now I know all the tricks and found myself running a new Wa/Mo through to get the survivor title in a few days.

farming chest at dreadnough driff until i have a collection of 100 gold crystalline sword
dr1zz one
I would make all my characters and not delete them to reroll!!
Then i would not have bought a second account!! I swear, there should be a multiple account merge option!! It would be my loss, but so what. I just want all my primary characters on one account.
Maybe farm a few things....but thats not a priority.

I would farm all the fresh sup vigor and sup absorpt runes out of the krytan ettins and get millions.

The PvE game would be boring for me - I would set up bots, catching each tactic as it started. I would be one of the first people to get rank 9 (UAX of course), sell my account, then use that money to buy many more accounts which I would turn into a self-sustaining bot farm.

I'd Stock up on HoD sword and stop the creation of IWAY!
No offense to you IWAYers but HA isn't the same anymore you chased away the noobs.

I would quickly finish the game with henchies after which I would do several things:
- solo farm uw (smite run, omg balthasar's aura)
- drake farming
- avicara rune farming
- chest runs
- griffon farming for fun
- ettin rune farming
- buying ectos low (trader and also from players, back in the days ecto had value 200g written on them)
- would also buy sapphires, rubies and shards
Anyway, you get the idea
And like the previous poster mentionned, I'll stock up denravi stuff.

-I'd farm Arid Sea wreckage for 15/-1er and 15/-1hr weapons, then mod them to 15% unconditionals. Id also buy up as many of said weapons as I could.
-I'd make and take credit for IWAY, VimWAY, Ranger Spike, Blood Spike and be the first person to nail rank 15.
-I'd make and take credit for the 55 monk, and solo-farm the heck out of UW. Since ecto dropped in stacks of 2 and 4 and were common as dirt (remember selling them to the merchant at 100 gold a pop?) I'd hold on to every single one that dropped, and buy every one I could find at 125 gold a pop.
-Make a bajillion HoD axes, mod them with the +30hp, and sell them for a half mill a pop.
... I think we all get the drift...

PROT BOND FARMING!
Seriously though, those were the days... *sigh*
OH, and I'd get 3 W/R's, two R/Me's, an N/E, and an N/Mo and run old-school IWAY to fame farm to rank 12 in two weeks, just for the heck of it. Of course, there wouldn't be any tiger or phoenix emotes to show off.
I'd also buy all the ectos I could, wait until they spiked to 10k (remember that all?) and sell them. w00t.
Oh, and I'd show off my super-psychic powers by predicting the two economy crashes (black dye at 40k+ anyone, remember that?)
I'd also do something "special" for the most unique guild I've ever been in: Michael Jacksons Little Boys. 8 members would spam the crap out of Tombs AD1 (when it was PvP) with NSYNC lyrics. I never did this, though. What I would do if I could go back is report them the instant they were created, to make sure it could never happen again.
And I would also form Your Math Teacher under MY name! HA!
But the one thing I would do, more than anything, is...
Try THK with henchies before anything else. Ya, the only way I've ever beaten THK was as a Ranger with 7 henchies...and it was the easiest thing ever.

i will buy unconditional 15% weapons, 15^50 fellblade, 15^50 mursaat hammer and join War Machine guild and if not accepted, will gather still the people that were present when Your Math Teacher [MATH] was first made and play GvG only but with IWAY.
