I just did it to myself. I already had a sundering 20/20 string and bought a +30 grip for my newly bought stormbow. I accidently put them on my Celestial bow which already had them. So I had to buy another string for 8k and another grip for 3k. Just blew away 11k right there.

Oh man, that's bad. I wish the merchant sell menu would let us Shift and highlight the ones we want to well all at once. I can understand getting click happy. Selling drops is such a hassle.

Owie... That is why I always put my rares/weaps behind buffers such as Heroes Handbook and such, saves me from crying myself to sleep.

As for my own self ownage, first time through the game, my mes is at THK (yes, my first main was a mes), i would have about 60 dp after 10 mins and could not figure out why I was doing so bad. I was infused and everything, but ooops, AMNOON ARMOUR! So I go buy droks, and back to THK I go! And suddenly im dead again, forgot to get my new armour infused. I was slightly sheepish that day...

As long as this thread has been brought back to life...

I love Halloween. It's one of my favorite holidays. And last year I was enjoying the fact that it was Halloween to the point where I didn't realize that certain updates had been implemented around the release of Nightfall (which I didn't purchase until a few weeks after it came out). I'm referring to the "grey dye" update in particular. I wasn't aware that the armor colors had changed, and when I went to the LA merchant during the event and found grey dye all of a sudden for 50g I figured that it had to have been some awesome Halloween thing designed to make everyone look like zombies (yes, I have watched too many classic horror films; thanks). Soooo...... I bought this huge stack of it, thinking that it wouldn't be available in a week and I'd soon be the owner of highly-coveted zombie armor colorification. Unfortunately, I was wrong. But! Fortunately (in a "share the stupid" sort of way), my yelling "undead zombie armor fkn++ yes!" from the other room convinced my boyfriend to buy a stack of it, also. This causes me to assume that this year's in-game Halloween will be lacking in excitement.

Casually clicking on her toon, and then accidently casting most of my enchants and prot spirit on her. Then getting my ass handed to me by the shadow army.

I once had a cap sig and used it on the defeated boss, but accidentally took one of the regular skills. It was on that Perdition Rock place so I had to find a group and do it all over again.

JUST self-owned;

Yesterday, in a "OMFG I DON'T HAVE STORAGE LEFT *merch merch merch merch*" (despite 7 mules on 2 accounts) I merched a BUNCH of golds, including one req9 spawning-power pronged fan, that I had put in the guru PC thread. Never got a PC on it, got tired, merched it.

I log on this morning, someone is offering to buy the item.

EDIT: I think this thread should be "Your own experience of Murphy's Law in-game"... x]

Monking for a friend in Thunderhead Keep, I'm feeling all generous and mighty with my Protector titles and new Vabbian armor . . . which isn't infused. After I raised a huge stink making sure all the other party members were infused.

Watched my aggro extra-carefully and let the tank die a few times rather than wade in and be pwned, and we got through. But I was so embarrassed. Went and got infused RIGHT AFTER THAT.

perhaps you should try playing support instead. i have a surviving warrior and assassin right now, and that's exactly what they're doing - support:

warrior - watch yourself and save yoursevles spammer, condition and hex remover
assassin - restoration healer

Haha, the last nail in the coffin about realizing that you did not bring a cap after genociding an entire species to get at a boss, is that you SPECIFICALLY went to a skill dude to buy a cap 1 minute before walking out of the outpost.

Played with my beloved mesmer for 900+ hours. Got KoaBD when it was still awesomely prestigious.

Random gw player: "Wow, look at that mesmer with koabd!

"
two weeks later... title updates are introduced...
The same random gw player: "Only koabd... Dude, arent you ashamed of that title ur displaying?

"

Worked so hard for the title and yes, i liked the respect i was getting for being a mesmer with a koabd title. Within a month it meant nothing. I rage-deleted him.

He will sorely be missed

dont feel no pain

The sad thing is I sometimes forget to switch secondaries AND take a sig cap when I've just bought about thirty of the things.
