I don't think he was trying to be funny, I'd say he was a troll if he didn't have a higher post count than a troll usually has. Nevertheless when you post something like that, with no qualifying statements surrounding it, you're just spouting gibberish in an attempt to get flamed or something (very troll-like behaviour).

I blame GWonline, and it's account I made on it. Almost every name was taken so I used Renegademarksman, my charcters name. I was in a rush from pvping, and re-rolling and ended fast typing his name from writing it in GWonline enough times. 4 seconds later I was screaming and swearing. I was alone at the time luckily enough.

1. Playing Gw while baking a pizza, result was almost burning down the house. Lucky the smoke alarms triggered lol...

2. Sold some perfect weapons to the merchant due to lag

3. Decided to invest into jewels when they were only 2k back then, then decided to sell them cause I had little patience for the same price. Prices rise to 8-9k each. Wow gj me

The time I bought a Ghial's Staff ASAP when it came out for a stupidly high 125k as my warrior. I was so happy that I had got the ideal weapon I'd wanted for my necro that I customized it right away. See the problem with that? No? I hadn't given the staff to my necro first. "OH SH..." That's only problem one. I had to borrow 30k from my cousin to buy the thing in the first place, which after making my screw up and merchanting the now useless weapon for 35 gold, he wanted back. I was skint... Fortunately I got lucky over the few following days and managed to pay him back and buy another one for 65k when the prices were dying down, but it was still a dumb amount of money to waste in the space of a few days. I sometimes wonder how much I'd have right now if I had known exactly what things to buy, when to buy them and what colour to dye them. Welcome to my world...

LOL! I have done that before.. Why is that tree bridge SO hard to find even when you know it is there!

2 things come to mind for me.


1. Sold my perfect FDS's not once not twice not even three times, but 4 times cause of clicking to fast.

2. taking a ranger to UW while soloing and mentioning the fact that the shadows outside of ToA scare the crap outa you when they pop up and mentioning how funny itd be to have that happen in UW, now that was a week before the dyeing nightmares were released in UW.

Lots of golds sold to merchants - clicking too fast

Deciding it would be a great idea to go and try to cap searing flames with my 450,000xp (ex)survivor character because it was late and I couldn't be bothered to log out and change toons.

Doing the gate of madness mission for the 3rd time (and finally completing it with masters reward) with heroes/henchies and realising afterwards that I was wielding a candy cane axe I had been playing around with earlier.

Selling junk to merchant before going to FoW for armor and sold 105 shards to the merchant.

Saved enough money to buy a super absorb for 90k(90k at the time), proceed to apply it to my old armor. Thinking to myself that was smart, considering that I just bought a set of 15k armor for my warrior. So I proceed to expert salvage it off my armor and became the proud owner of 4 iron ingots.

Buying Humps! (No kidding! Check my buy thread)

Hello Kitty Krewe [HKK] Forever!-ish

I'm hard pressed to decide who I think wins so far. It's between the two pairs of Obsidian boots and wammo with his very own custom Ghial's staff. Felt it in my gut reading both of those. So sorry guys!

I vote this be made into a poll! We need winners! The first annual violin awards!

Oh, and Hengis, I don't know why that bridge is always so damn hard to find, but TYVM for admitting the same problem. It's comforting to know I'm not the only one that has trouble with that.

sold a -50 hp cesta to the merc

btw, to all you people selling stuff to the merchant, use an unsellable item (candy cane weapon, quest item) to put in front of your valuables so you dont accidentally sell them while clicking down the list... old trick that still works great

I bought a shadow shield for a new character I recently made who was a warrior.
I bought it for over 100k and was so happy.
Later I learned it was only worth 20k because of it's mods.
I don't buy stuff from people anymore. I can't afford to now!

This was not a mistake, but I was going from pre-searing to post-searing. I kill the boss and he drops a black dye... instant cut-scene before I could pick it up. When I got to post- it teleported me into a explorable area so I didn't get the "would you like to pick up these items" box. Needless to say I felt like raging... as the whole cut scene that Gwen is dancing and prancing around my black dye is laying on the ground sparkling. Slowly tormenting me...

our entire team expect 2 players were wiped out during a mission [i cant remember which one] when the wamo that survived [cant figure that one out either] decided to show us all of his high-end weapons by dropping them [ie. req8 15^50 gpb, zod sword & axe]. the other player that was still alive but quite a ways away from the wamo and his weapons was a sin. all i rememeber is seeing the sin instantly teleporting to the wamos location to pick up whatever he could. the sin snagged the gpb before the wamo could pick everything up.

i could tell the wamo was raging buy all the running around he was doing. the sin left our group not too long afterwards.

i was literally roflmao.

One I did recently was, I got dropped a FDS 15% -10 armour req.9, I stuck it on my PvP character for a Starburst build. It worked a treat, but being new to PvP characters, I was interested in the building of armour and weapons. I made a rubbishy PvP weapon and some message popped up, I read it twice over and I didnt make sense of it and said ok. I looked in my bags, and noticed the FDS was gone and replace with the PvP weapon. I wasnt happy haha.
