I often go into UW to kill smites without turning off HM. Makes it a little tough to get past the speed-enhanced Aatxes...

I also sold a perfect gold drop of a new EoTN skin on the EoTN preview weekend by accident when I got it confused with another gold item of the same type that was junk.

We don't need no steenkeen Buyback....

I also frequently leave to do skill caps and don't realize I forgot to equip the signet until after the boss is dead....

My mouse was not working properly, I was moving some items from the inventory, and somehow it doubleclicked my boots and hold them. So in the midle of the trayectory, the item to be trahed wwas switched with the boots, and I ended up trashing the boots.

I clicked without reading the name of the item to be casted to trash... and I lost my boots.

Had to made another pair, and infuse it again... agghhh..

that totally TOTALLY god damn TOTALLY your own mistake lol. I would really laugh that. How egoist are you do drop that expensive item on floor to show off. If I were your teammate I woul picked it up. Cause such thing is just so hard to resist

More self pwnage. I went to buy my first set of Warrior FoW armor and had a brain-fart. I was going to buy the Chest-Pants areas since I didn't have the materials, but instead bought the Chest-Boots areas. So I was stuck running aroind with an Ascalon Hat, Ascalon pants, Ascalon gloves, Fissure Chest, and Fissure boots. I'm probably in the Ugliest Armor Combos thread by now.

I remember buying a Dark Claw for 10k back in the day. The seller said it was a rare UW drop.

The next time I went to solo UW the first drop I got was a dark claw >.>

On topic:
Vanquishing in Zehlon Reach, got to just over 100 or so foes. Went to the merchant to clean up my inventory and double-clicked the 'X'. Queue massive sigh and switch to another character.

I crafted rolls upon rolls of parchment for my monks first set of elite armor, the Elite tattoo pattern. Went there to craft it only to realize I needed Vellum, not parchment. :/

Ha, I've always done the insane-amount-of-target-calling thing on GW. Sometimes the damn henchies and heros just don't want to listen to me, so I find I have to repeat myself

As far as self ownage goes...I'm always doing it. I don't have much patience for waiting for patrols and openings to run through, etc, so I'm always plowing into the battlefield and finding myself stuck between three or more groups of enemies.

Fortunately most of the time I survive, but often...all that's left is a little pile of bodies as the enemy strolls off back to their rightful patrol paths. Meh, I like to live dangerously (read: is impatient).

I did this exact same thing. Glad I'm not the only one.

Going through Nightfall when it first came out and merching Ele swords cause I didnt like the skin.

Minibump! Hurr...

1) Invested in the parchment economy. I forgot that with insignias not everyone likes tatoo/scar armor anymore...hard to find some clients.

2) Made a necro and aimed for survivor, went AFK with her in an explorable area. Next thing I know a LOT of foes that weren't there before are dancing on her corpse and Dunkoro was trying to wand them.

Heh, I turned off hints just because of that annoying thing that comes up all the time when I play a physical class.

Anyways, my tale...

Fronis Irontoe's Lair. 1,244,731 xp / 1,337,500 xp. No deaths. Made a macro to loop the 8 key for nice easy Stand Up. So I got knocked down. Hit the macro. The M1-G3 macro key did 8 so many times in less than a second that I instantly got disconnected and died.

Ok #1. Macros are bad. #2. You know it's incredibly easy to spam the get up skill? repeatedly click on it AND press the 8 key repeatedly. Piece of cake- low 100's is easily possible.

#1 - ArenaNet has no problem with the Logitech G15's inherent software.

#2 - Yeah, I know. I have climbed back up to 120 energy once, though barely made it. But I was lazy and wanted an easy way through
