Somehow deleted my R8 max 15^50, 20/20, +30 GOLD crystaline sword.....
o m g pizowned
yes i did that too. only 5 of them^^

I have a new one.
Thought for some reason the only way to destroy a destroyer weapon was to delete it. Used a superior salvage kit to get my 20% enchanting mod off . . . bye-bye, destroyer spear.
I wasn't actually using it (after putting it in my HoM I found it too garish to use, and kept it on Morgahn), and made it when onyx was at its cheapest. So I'm not too upset . . . but STILL.

Now it allows you to tank ridiculously HUGE mobs of melee monsters at once because only three of them will be attacking you at once, and you can keep one of them pinned there by attacking him back. Without the AoE scatter, Gates of Kryta Hard Mode farm wouldn't be feasible.... nor the uber Skale mob in Fahranur The First City (HM). |

Took my brand new Monument armor on a mapping run in the Southern Shiverpeaks. Ran into some mursatt. Dead in about 3 seconds. Guess what I forgot to do?

This was back in the day when we had to wait for our Continent to win the Favor of the gods.
America had won the favor and Europe was a bout to get it back (one more victory to go). I had just come from work and went all fast like to get my warrior and go to the UW. So I go to the ToA, go to grenths statue, /kneel, and go into the UW just as we lost favor. I pull the first group of Grasping Darkness just to find out right then that I had brought a completely different build.
Dead in less than 5 seconds.
1K lost and had to wait like 2 more days to get into the UW.

You get used to it after a while.

^^^ Not really, just put your weapons or armor in the bottom 2 bags in your inventory then uncheck the check marks at traders, this way you won't sell them by mistake.
Back to topic, 1st Wintersday, a rumor came out that the IDS will be just during Wintersday and it won't drop after that.
After many many many farming runs and me getting no IDS, I caved down and bought it.
The price was going up because of the rumor and I got it for 100k. A day later Anet said that it will be here to stay and prices came down like crazy.
I never gotten the IDS to drop for me all this time and the one I have now is the one I bought back in 2005 for 100k

Tinkering with my registry, screwing my computer, forcing me to reformat and thus losing all of my screenshots from my first days in GW.... such as heading towards Maguuma with my ranger with points spread in prot/smite/healing and marks.
I felt like i'd lost the family photo album in a fire.

Just yesterday, someone in my group was insisting that you can't manually DC. I set out to prove them, and accidentally just left the game instead

-Req.8 Fellblade 15^50 [non-ins]
-Chaos Axe Req.9 15^50 [non-ins]
-3 Longswords Req.9 15^50 [non-ins]

Giving away over 450K worth of items, crafting materials, golds, and plain old money when I quit playing a year ago. You know, back when ecto was like...10k apice....
Rushin Roulette
All thise posts about people acidentally deleting a char + and rare items on them is ok... but its not really selfe ownage... its more like forgetfullness + a general D'OH factor.
My worst ingame from of self ownage was using Aura of displacement to catch up to an assassin (gettign him in the end and feelign really happy about myself)... getting int oa fight with a derv a little later and seeing I was geting owned, cancling aura... where the owning really started.
I found out the recal area was bang smack in the middle of the oposing mob regrouping and charging up between battles... all ready for a surprized and hapless N/A with low health popping up in the middle of them.... a couple seconds later I was resing and wondering wth had happened.

Since the thread title doesn't specify in game, a small story which broke most of my guild.
I was in Starbucks/Borders with 2 friends doing some college work. Lots of Alpha, beta, gamma abbrevs. So my friend, in relation to what I do NOT know, says "Dude this isn't hard like Kama Sutra!" to which my other friend replies "What's that? A greek letter?"
Stunned at his ignorance, I lead him to the sex-book section of Borders, where I find "The Pop-up Guide to Kama Sutra". I'm, to his amusement, showing him what it is using the pop-up features of the books when my GOD DAM PHYSICS TEACHER WALKS PAST.
Now I don't usually HAVE Physics that day, and it was my final day in college for a week (Half-term holiday) but I HAD TO GO AND SEE HER to find out homework I had missed being ill the previous day. She took one look at me and burst into laughter.
Gee Gee me :/

My worst self ownage was Canthan New years Festival.
I happened to be in Shing Jea when one of the first mini-pigs was opened.
I of course, am VERY excited about the new gold mini-pet.
I look at wiki and wiki claims that the new mini-pig will be just as rare as the mini-Shiro or mini-Rurik. At this time those two minis went for about 60-80k.
My old guild leader pmed me telling me that she had found someone willing to sell their (one of the first) mini-pigs for a mere 70k and that she had talked him down from 80k.
I RUSH down to Shing Jea leaping at the chance to be one of the first mini-pig owners. I gladly pay the 70k and am for a very short while VERY happy with my purchase.
And then I begin to hear in all-chat,
"I HAVE A MINI PIG!"
"I HAVE ONE TOO"
"ME TOO!"
Wiki changed the page about the mini-pig shortly after telling the truth about their rarity.
Me = pwned
Wasn't so much the money. 70k isn't all that much, but considering that I paid it for something people can't even give away anymore... it's kinda funny.

I bought myself a copy of Eye of the North. Man did I own myself. It was the worst game I have ever played. I should have waited for UT3 or CoD4.

Came back ingame, and I was being attacked by a wolf didn't think twice, just walked up to the collector and started browsing his stuff. The wolf was still attacking me.. then I died, and I was like "Eh whatev... WTF! AW HELL NAW!" So level 15 Survivor... killed by a level 2 wolf. IT GETS WORSE! So I recreate her, and level her to level 9 and decided to leave pre-sear. I go through the PVP part.. staying alive but we had a level 3 warrior. The idiot died atleast 7 times so they won. I THOUGHT that the slaying of all chars on the losing team would count as a death so I quit really fast. When I went to log back in, the game would load, then boot me. Took me 4 weeks over something that wouldnt have counted as a death. And Arena.net never really fixed it. I found the workaround (Download all files). |

Today I got an R9 Darkwing Defender strength doing dungeons in GWEN with the guild. And I didn't know people paid a lot for these so I sold it to the merchant.
Then on another dungeon I got another, same stats. Sold it here on Guru just now for 100k so that's good. But I coulda done that twice! Self pwned.
An ele sword dropped for me from a Destroyer chest. Of course I know about these so the merchant won't even see it.

once, i was reduced to about 20 hp in my shield set by a BA ranger. seeing that poison was still active, i tried to mend touch myself... except my energy was zero since i was trying to fight an esurge mesmer a little while ago, and my shield set is -5 energy.
so what did i do? i swapped back to my bow, and promptly died, because in doing so chopped off 30 hp.

That reminds me of when people still did FFF runs manually and I had weapon sets for F1 thru F4. There was a few times when I switched wrongly and used the grim cesta prematurely and died before reaching my spot.

Makes me wish there's a warning in the game to check the character's inventory when deleting a character.

Did that signet of capture thing once. that annoyed me. Later that day someone I was capping in Perdition Rock did the same thing.
Just the other day I merched an Onyx gem that I got from a hidden chest in bogroot. The guildie with me got 150 gold from that same chest. Well, so did I. :\

first started playing, first day, bought 10 iron ingots at merchant, only it gave me 1k. Kept doing it, noticed it was giving me money rather than me paying for it, only did it twice, thinking there was something wrong I ran away.
Later found out that they didnt rollback because not many people knew about the glitch and only a handfull of people made over 100k off of it.
