I did post here before already, but I just remembered an old, horrible yet funny mistake:
Right before factions was released I decided to invest virtually all my money on purchasing 4 HOD swords (like 300-350k each) in order to sell them for more later.............
...........
..........To this day I keep one in my storage to remind me - DOH!
What was the dumbest thing you did as a noob?

I don't know if i posted this already, but I don't think so.
I was newer,and the group i was with made it to one of the gold rooms in halls, so we were doing really well and beat all the group, but that one group could not open their door lol. So we decided to wait for the clock to run down and win... anyway I decided I was bored and opened their door and long story short we lost.
God that such a noob thing to do.

I used to play RA with my [flare] [healing breeze] ele alot. RA being RA i managed to win despite my crappy bar. I didn't know about Z keys at the time and whenever my balth faction filled up, I used to go to the rewards guy and I would unlock all the bow strings, then grips, then shield handles, etc.... wasted over 200,000 faction before i realised there was something better to do with it. :P

On-Topic! I've logged almost 5khrs in 21months on GW and only maybe 3 months ago discovered that the Enter key opens the chat to type >__<
Oppositely, I've raged in ally chat numerous times about identifying whites. As a friendly helpful person I remind newer players to ID their white items for greater profit. On several occasions I've been laughed at and called noob for suggesting ppl do this. In retrospect it makes me wonder why I've stuck with the same alliance for 20 months that recruits jackass noobs like that O__o

Some of you will boast of your ease with them, but I know I am not the only one who finds them irritating.

Sold a guy an ecto for 100g, back when they were 17k.
Deleted my ele four times, before the power creep that was Nightfall.
Got lvl20 in Presearing, before figuring out that there was still 99% of the game i didnt do.
Loaded up a bunch of expensive weapons onto a pvp char, then deleted it.
And a bunch of other shit that I forgot...

Hmmm my first warrior was a w/e and apparently i was called noob when i used conjure fire on my newly brought plain blue fds (which costed me 10k). I look at the top gvg battles now and then what do i see W/E using conjure (element). Well maybe it wasnt noob on my part but maybe I was just way ahead of time 3 years to be exact. I made a Mo/Ra because back then you could cap the bear in pre-searing. That wasnt the noob part i had all divine favor and markmanship 
.
Also my monk still has that pre-searing bear as its pet.

Back when I first started the game I salvaged EVERYTHING. Didn't matter what it was. Unless I was gonna use it on that chara then I would save it. I salvaged blues, purples, golds...... 0.o I even used to salvage rare mats like charcoal. /doh

In my first week on Proph I dyed some starter armor black, then sold it, then spent 3 hours trying to figure out why the purchaser could'nt wear it before giving him a refund.
Doh.
Still got the helm somewhere for sentimental reasons.

Spent about 2 hours capturing [Immolate] from Auri the skull wand, and spent 3 hours trying to farm Tahkyun's Pincers with 3 henchies. xD
Other than that, I also merched a black dye, which of course, everyone did, lol.

Selling a perfect req 8 mursaat hammer for 1k when it was worth over 100k at the time.

I did not know how the armour system worked. So like Diablo 2 i assumed the armour level stacked together. I had one piece of armour for each elemental damage (e.g fire leggings, hand/wrist cold). Another noob thing that I did was running up to heal a warrior in middle of the battle by using Heal Area. Some dead party members pointed out what i was doing wrong.
Ohh yeah and like every ranger i tried to squeeze my pet into every build i had.

Someone gave me a free Drago's Flatbow back when they were in the 80k range. I was so happy, but being the fickle merchant I am, I decided to sell it. You know, just to see that 80k happily sitting in my inventory like I didn't care. So this guy offers 80k on it, then cancels. Then he says, "If you're fast and accept quickly I'll give 100k instead!" I'm like wow, am I a merchant or what. So I put it up for offer, he puts up his money a few more times with a few more cancel trades from him, then finally he accepts. I look gleefully to my inventory to find 100...gold. PWNED...
Then I threatened to report him. He gave me a lot of SF greens (I don't know why) and I ended up trading one of those greens (Stonehart offhand I think) for a Drago's Flatbow with some other guy. I actually ended up making profit.

When I was noobish, I was looking for the box that told me what my total armor level was. At the time, I didn't know that armor for each piece was armor for that area only and not as a whole. Another was when I kept trying to sell gold weapons which weren't max, thinking that people would buy it and that gold weapons were ub3r l337.
The Only Warrior

I had guildies to lay the smackdown if I did anything particularly stupid, for which I am eternally grateful. Nevertheless, my using Healing Breeze in areas with heavy enchan-strip somehow managed to get under their radar...
And, yeah. I used to salvage everything, until I realised I needed to merch it so I could get enough gold.

When I was about my first month in the game [old school days. Prophecies only], my friend didn't have enough money to buy his own Guild Wars in real life, so I decided to buy an account in the game. Right when I traded my 10k, the guy ran off laughing.
I actually saw the same character last year doing the same thing. It was actually quite funny because I reported him. Haven't seen him since.
