I ran a Ranger with bow attacks and a pair of daggers :\ Forgot to change equipment when I switched from R/A back to Burning Arrow R/Mo. Luckily it was just AB so we beat the Luxons 500-70.

Did Vanquish with Heroes and Hench from
ToA -> Talmark Wilderness -> Majesty's Rest (skipped - cause i met "someone" i was not prepared for) -> Sage Lands -> Mamnoon Lagoon -> Silverwood -> Ettin's Back -> Reed Bog -> The Falls -> Dry Top -> Tangel Root (there i got disconnected from game - and an update was installed - and i could not get back to Tangel Root :-(

And in the last area i got disconnected and unable to get back

Worst ownage...

Sold stuff to merchant when i didn't mean to, such as a good weapon, or some materials I was saving.

And bought crap such as Shiro Blades on my sin only to realize how much they sucked...so that was lots of money down the tube. I don't think I've played him since.

On a side note, if anyone is gonna see The Mist in theaters, I won't spoil it but let's just say the main character does the most ultimate self pwnage imaginable at the end.
I looked the ending up on the internet, and omg that has to be the WORST self-ownage imaginable. What an idiot.

I do agree , the ending is not a bad one but self-ownage is really the word to describe it.

Back in the days of running crystals in elona's reach, a guy tried to scam me and not pay what he said he would. So I offered to turn in the last crystal in exchange for his armor as collateral, while he got the money from his chest.

He didn't pay so I returned his new armor AFTER salvaging it into material!

This was by far my favorite day in Guild Wars history, and I have screen shots of the whole thing with him whinning for me to give him his new armor or he'd report that I was scamming him. My guild so belly rolled over that one.

"I'm going to report you dude. That's my armor and you can't wear it dude. Give me back my armor or I'll report you." "No, I'm not paying for the run. PPLEASSEEE give me back my armor." I only wanted a modest 1K... I was reliable and super fast (used a ranger).

(and this is just one example) i asked a friend to buy some some 20/20 sundering tangs for my daggers. gave them 6k for them and ran over to the merchant to empty my inventory before i put them on my daggers. well... i am in the habit of just deleting anything white, blue or purple... ouch... bye bye dagger tangs. less than 10secs it took me

At 3am last night, I was lucky enough to be invited into a friends r12 group for HA. (I am r5!) So I was running the relic in HoH, it was the last 20 seconds, and I got crippled. I was pinging "I'm crippled" like crazy, thinking to myself "omg, what are they doing? We're going to lose!" when my friend pointed out to me that I have mend body and soul on my bar.

At that point I decided that I was really, really sleep deprived, and crawled red faced into bed.

(And yes, we lost, by about 2 seconds)

Wow, that goes beyond self ownage, into utter stupidity.

Not so much self ownage, but was runninng in sway in HA today, joined a pug, and promptly won UW. however, the leader left as soon as he got his 1 fame, and he had the taint hero. So we are fighting in Fetid with 6 players, and a Zaishen Fighter and Healer. We flawless them. Then we go and fight a guild group in Burial, and win in under 5 mins. Our run of amazingness petered out in the Relic run, but it was still some screenshots for the ages.

Did Glint Mission (Tyria) in HM this morning with guildie. Team ready to go when I realise I want an elemental weapon to combat one of the Glint skills. I swap heroes to one that is storing the sword to get what I wanted.

On the first degen area we talked about how the degen must have really been ramped up in HM, and in the 3rd area my buddy spots the problem. The litany goes something like this :
1) We have Jora in the party instead of Dunkoro
2) Jora has no weapon
3) Jora is set to Pacify
4) Jora's skills are set for running chests (nothing in attack on the whole bar)
5) After equipping a weapon she doest have the sword attribute to use it to full effect
6) The only monk in the party is my guildie's Prot monk!!! We have no heal monk in the party.

I was all for giving up but my mate wanted to see how far we could get. We managed the whole thing in the end - it got very hairy in the last fall down area with the larger groups. The only man to go down in the bonus (Glint) was me, but that was when he was less than 10% health. Probably got my just deserts there for making the big blunder in the first place.

deciding to build a 55 monk finally, spending the time to work on him, level him up, etc. Getting to Droks and buying the best armor for him (and buying all the materials needed) only to realize, 60k later, that there was no need to buy armor for a 55 monk and that it actually hinders several skills to have high armor... going back and buying armor in ascalon city for the 15 armor XD

I ran an IW mesmer in Random Arenas :P

Still, though, we got 10 mins (most of them flawless) until a couple people left and were replaced by rangers, at which point we lost.

Last week my guild and I were GvGing... We we putting som excellent flag pushes/bodyblocks on the opposing team.

As I approached the stand team (who had them pushed up the stand a ways) I noticed a lot of pressure on our team as well as our strat caller being close to death. I was right at the flag stand, and clicked it instead of using the space bar. Then I cast Protective was Kaolai. I dropped the ashes, everyone was saved, and I ran up to help my team bodyblock and so on.

We hold him there for a full minute. Their monks were taking terrible pressure. About 10 seconds before boost, we all realize that our flag was just in front of the stand. I had never actually planted it. Our team wiped while we all went "WTF?". I am so ashamed.

i think salvaged for materials and broken while salvaged are 2 different things. When it says cannot be salvaged, it means you can salvage the STUFF off of it, but you cannot salvage the actual item into materials. However you always run the risk of BREAKING the item when salvaging the stuff off. So use a perfect salvage kit

my worst selfown is prob doing vanquish run for 1 + hours and hitting the cord loose on my router while searching for the last mob... wouldnt let me back in the zone gg

After playing my main through proph. (mage) I rolled another char. (war) everything was going fine in the beginning, but then I started to notice that as I gained levels I was having a harder time fighting mobs. I just wasn't hitting anywhere near the damage my mage could do at similar levels. My first fighter so I just thought that's how it goes. Wasn't until level 13, talking to another war in Yaks bend about the low damage I'm doing and he asks what my attributes are set too...

Oh ya... attributes. I hadn't raised them since level 3... game got suprisingly easier after that point.

The very first time I played an MM, I'd already learnt how to watch so I didn't over-sacrifice and kill myself. I wasn't too aware about monster AI, though - so I did a dangerous sac right in front of a hungry mob, assuming my friends would be able to heal me before they got me.

I was so wrong. XD
