What was the dumbest thing you did as a noob?
Baraden
Probably for me, was buying 2 gold bows for my ele, customizing them and then realizing (much later on) that eles do not make very good bowmen.

I drove a car into a house cuz I was drunk. It was a long time ago. 
But it was a pivotal point in my life for getting my act together.
Ohhhh, in Guild Wars, when first playing ritualists I had a bad habit of using genorous was tsungrai when I was really low on health and killing myself.

When i first started playing i loaded up my old ele with PBAoE earth and fire spells and charged into mobs thinking they'd die quickly. Wasn't them that died quickly

I FFF a lot. I mean, i spent the majority of my newbie days fffing... a lot. I feel so stupid for letting those selfish guilds take advantage of me. What did I get out of it? Nothing. I wasn't doing elite missions then even though we owned urgoz, and I sure as hell wasn't spending my money on discounted keys...
I pwnd U
Bought a non-max FDS for 5k because we though it was leet.

Got some black dye in pre and used it on my starting armor. It looked retarded, and I slapped myself once I got to post and learned of the magical NPC called the "Dye Trader". Black dye was like 9k at the time too, that seemed like a fortune!
sickle of carnage
I made a necro, and used marksmanship and wilderness survival...

In GW, deleting my 15K Gladiator Armor one week before the Xunlai Storage Upgrade. That was my first 15K Armor Set.

When I first played, I was the most rootin-tooting-flare-spamming-shield-wielding-aggro-gaining-ele in all of Ascalon!
Eh, I leeched a few missions, think I left in the middle of a mission to get a haircut... lol. Those were the days.

Deleted my warrior because i did not know i could change my secondary profession (He was W/N with soul feast and bone minions haha). He was level 20 and had 15k glad/platemail mix armor, so i remade him into a W/Mo. This was so long ago though, and i had played him for a few months before i deleted him. Bawww.
On the contrast, the smartest thing i ever did while i was a noob was not join experienced groups, and infect everyone else my ignorance and cause them grief over it. Rather, i learned before i went and noobed some group's team up and ruining it.

When I first joined, after 20minutes i was yelling in Kamadan "HOW DO I SAVE!!!!! I HAVE TO GET OFF NOW AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO SAVE!!!!! PAYING 5g FOR SOMEONE THAT CAN TELL ME HOW TO SAVE!!!!!"

Using my friends account. Makeing numerous Lvl 20 characters only to have them deleted, and everything taken away...several times :P
Stolen Souls
Back in my noob days I tried to sell a gold bow that was FAR from max, with the crappiest stats ever. Then wondered why people were laughing at me. I mean...it was GOLD!

I was a pro W/E flare spammer. At least I thought I was...
Another time my friend gave me money for monk tatoos after running my level 6 monk to droks. I went to buy parchments from another player. He had 2.2k worth, so I entered the money and traded. About 3 minutes later, I noticed I traded 22k instead of 2.2k. I haven't traded laste at night ever again.

I was never a noob. I was born as a veteran Guild Wars player. Therefore, I have done no dumb things.

As a young lvl 2 w/mo, I wanted to make friends. So I gave away a black dye. I also carried mending, orison of healing, healing breeze and bane signet. The other skills were frenzy, heal sig, sprint and res signet
sickle of carnage
After I got over marksmanship I decided that N/E was the way to go. I had some fun with Fire Storm.
Zeek Aran
Oh, and wondering why I couldn't sell 20% vs dragons/undead/et cetera for a staff. I thought it was so awesome.

E/Mo with half monk skills. (I thought the super high energy would be sweet)

I merched A black dye on a new ranger once? I thought that ranger was blessed because of that drop, after merching though I deleted her and didnt make another ranger for 4 months, I was pretty angry.
But back then that amount of moneyt was alot to me...
And still is. :P

I actually played through Maguuma/Kryta, which took me several weeks if not more. Sadly this was when everyone was still in Tyria as well, though I suppose that meant many more inexperienced players as well. Only later did I find out about Sanctum Cay. 
Tender Wolf
Sold elite Luxon armor hoping to get lots of money back because I needed a Titan gemstone to get Razah and making less than 1k on the whole set. And then they took away the need for gemstones.
And the times when I cranked up all attributes instead of the ones I was actually using...and never used primary attribute.

Additionally, my friend merched off a black dye. He did it again yesterday for nostalgia's sake, heh.

Charging into Old Ascalon on my Level 8 Elementalist, without henchmen. I was wondering why on earth I couldn't solo those **** Grawl. I created a Necromancer and deleted the Ele, then found out about henchmen.

Noob Avarre was ragey. I don't remember anything else I did besides that.

I feel your pain. Deleted quite a few masks before they put the npc in as well.
Curse You
In Pre-Searing, doing A Monk's Mission but not realizing that Orison of Healing could be used on myself. As a result, I died and failed the quest.
Even worse (and why my necro never had a chance at survivor), doing The Necromancer's Novice but not realizing that Animate Bone Horror works on corpses that are far away, and instead just running into the Flame Geysers and dying.

Putting 1 attribute into each category thinking that I could get 12 in each one. At level 20 I think had like, 5 attributes in each category with a R/Mo.
Progressing my skills as I got them. I would replace my old skills with new skills as I got them.
Selling black dye at the merchant, only to find out just how much it was at a dye trader.

1. A PvE story of dumb:
I thought that there were 4 different bags. So I didn't get my bag for the last slot until much much later on (after continuously running out of bag space) when I found out that the bag one uses in slot 3 - works on slot 4 too!
2. PvP story:
Going PURE energy denial into the Droks arena (in the good old days this meant E-Tap/E-Drain/Signet Of Weariness/E-Feast - I wonder what else?).
Going after the ele.
And I brought Rebirth.
I was told I suck - and I never PvPed again.

The day I got outta presearing I bought a White Req 11 Chaos Axe just cause it was higher dmg then my noobie sword. I think that right there is why I don't play axes much now.
