Joining Pugs, walking into a town with Local, Sale, and emote chat enabled, believing when a PUG monk states they are healing (and they are smite), it's ok, just say you're smite, Wa/mo that are built as an entire Monk build (dude, go learn how to spec your toon, what kind of monk are you with 25 eneregy and six 10 energy heals on your bar), you know stuff like that.

Deleting my level 20 monk with my expensive stuff and money in it. Hopefully I didn't delete a Horns of Grenth with it.

I did the same thing last night capping elites in Talus Chute.

And before I left, I knew I was going to be all over that zone, so I figured I'd take a few shiverpeak keys.. I waited around Droks (every district) for about 15-20 minutes to try to buy some off a player for cheaper, but no one was around. Then I go to the trader and buy 3 keys for full price, and the very moment I'm running from the merchant back towards storage someone starts spamming "WTS Shiverpeak Keys!".....

Any way, what has been your 'Silly Mistakes' of Guild Wars?

Oh, and if any kind sole would trade my staff for the Channeling, I will lave you lang time haha.
Next time you get to pick, always pick the one with primary attribute. Most builds out there have their primary attribute at least 9.

That is not silly. The really stupid thing I did when I killed the Abadon for the first time was going left to those forgotten snakes that block the way and somehow passing them (something like boat run in HA). After that I stucked behind them and could not get back and claim my Book of Secrets. I was so frustrated, have to redo the whole mission again

And as everybode else I sold many, many greens to merchants, but that doesn't happen any more, I learnt my lesson

I went to make Primeval Armor for my Derv after he first finished the game. I forgot the mats. Went back, did the mission again, went back. I realized I was missing the mats for the chest. Go back, get mats, do again. I get to the crafter, I'm 2k short and with heroes/henchies. /slitthroat.

Oki not ultimate silly mistakes but silly all the same.

After taking a break from GW for a couple of months I came back and power'd my Elementalist from North Shiverpeaks into Kaineng to get Max armour and new skills. When I arrived I thought that Id stock up on Capture Signets whilst they are still cheap and forgot that buying skills takes up skill points as well as money. Now I have no skill points left to buy skills.


I do have 13 capture signets tho'

Not so much a mistake but funny anyways:

I was playing HoH with my guild and we won... Chest opened, sigil dropped for me, yay! However I was stuck in the stairs and I couldnt move an inche. So only thing I could do was stare at it as I was watching the timer count down for the next round to start. (this was before the unstuck command was implemented)

I fell pray to a scam, it was very late. I got dropped a very nice sword and wanted to get a 20/20 sundering for it. I advertised in Droks and someone showed me one, said 40K. I put up 40K and hit accept and it cancelled. I'm tired, I figured they had too much money, they needed to deposit it, we tried again and it was there and it cancelled again. Ok, now I'm wondering what's going on and now I'm not thinking clearly, tired, trying to figure out why it won't go through, and they put up a Sword Hilt and I hit accept. It says you bought a Firey Sword Hilt......DOH!!!!!!!! Course I reported it, but man......
