What was the dumbest thing you did as a noob?

Aha. I like how so many of us used firestorm on our poor rangers, whilst completely ignoring expertise.

Dumbest thing I ever did was not learning about weapon swapping for two years.

-Took me about an hour of frustration to figure out how people were spamming stuff. Was so pissed when I found out it was just the up key.
-Equipping my R/E with pure fire skills, because my bow didn't do enough damage for my liking.
-Running back and forth all over pre till I discovered map travel.
-Etc ;o

While doing Ruins of Surmia mission with a pug back in July 2005, I saw a W/R with a storm bow and just had to have one. I paid 20k (my life savings earned selling purple item's from farming charr in pre) for a non-max white storm bow.
When Sorrows Furnace first came out, I heard about this uber green bow. I didn't know it was Drago's, and paid 40k for The Stinger.

Then they get in pugs and keep asking why we're fighting the White Mantle/Mursaat.

I used to invite random people that I thought were henchmen. And I whispered a few 'Are you a henchmen?'
I didnt know I could buy new armor and got to the desert in starter armor.
I finished prophecies using flare.

Remembering this other stuff kinda stings...
1. I went through 1/4 of the prophecies campaign without knowing I could buy better armor
2. Went through most of the nightfall campaign under the same circumstances
3. I got scammed outta my max scythe for 1k (moan)
4. I forgot to turn off the game after joining a team in the team arenas and came back to my computer with 10k balth faction...actually that was a really cool thing, my team actually waited for me to get back
(yes I did fight for a good 2 hours to make up for the absence.)

C0Dlike
My first account was given to me by my friend... the first thing i did was delete his female warrior to create mine...then i found out that i deleted it with a perf req9 flamberg inside ( sure not that great but since i was a noob it was to me ) and that something called "storage" existed and was account-wide lol

black dye to merchant in pre by accidently clicking too many times selling unk while getting hellish lag. 1g rather than many plat back when I hadn't even hit 1k on my 1st char. Learned not to click when lagging though...and how to turn bags off with merchant...

buying Steel for 15k Platemail when i realized i needed deldrimor steel....

1. Getting a silver dye and thinking I was leet.
2. Getting a black dye and dying (no pun) with excitement.
3. Making my main char look like a pansy
4. Using minion skills on my dervish thinking the enchants could be placed on allies
5. When I first got the game I spent ages in pre and when a friend asked if I had gone to post searing yet, I said 'What's that?' (this was after about a week of playing)
6. Taking more than a year to finish proph...
7. Using a crap green shortbow on my warrior 'coz it was green.
8. I saw a N/W build on a site that was referred to as 'Meleemancer'.
(http://gwvault.ign.com/View.php?view...s.Detail&id=13)
Thinking this is what MM stood for, I proudly said 'I am a MM!' when looking for parties. I wondered why they asked 'You' arent a very good MM' considering I had no minion spells.
Oh and letting my friend use my account.
(PS I still do some of the things on here :P)

I thought fire magic + assassin = win, and continued to do so until I realized I could loop death blossom endlessly with moebius strike 
but hey I was partially right XD

i asked when the next patch is gonna be to introduce flying then i wondered why the game was a ghost town when i was outside.
oh and i submitted a game bug saying that the auction house is gone and i could'nt jump.
then i kept asking people to help me do blacksmithing and crafting and bugged people to show me how to get a mount and chop trees then i wanted to slap myself for how stupid i was although i was extremely dissapointed gw had none of those things =(

It took me 2 years to beat THK. (this is NOT a joke)
my first GvG I thought that repairing my team's catapult by our base would fire on the other team. the second GvG I took the repair kit and ran up the hill (on the gank path) to the edge of the map and dropped it there hoping they wouldn't find it. only problem was that I was one of two monks against a pressure team. they were a little bit mad ...

Right after I started the game 2 years ago, I made a 55 monk and spent ALL of my money on the armor...only the realize that I had no money to buy regular runes and actually make it to the farming spots...and no money to buy a run. Took a few weeks and a random nice person to pull me outta that hole.
DarthFlesh
As soon as i started the game with my ele in prophecies, everything went like a breeze, good money, good weapons, then after searing, i went to kill some grawls with a hench party, and WOOt i got a BLACK DYE, my first good drop ever, i was so happy, and i thought to my self, hey, i got an ascalon bow, damage 10+ im so leet, lets black dye it and sell it for 100,000 gold, i did, and i tried to sell it, and all i recieved was laughs -.-, besides wasting 5k, but the bow looked good

Appologies , i guess it wasnt Great northern wall .. but it was some failry noob quest in the gam .. havent PVE d in forever i am a PVP player ..

Let's see, uh, thinking melee weapons worked fine without melee skills, and going "damage dealer/support healer paladin" with 5 healing skills, 1 hammer skill, and two capture signets at almost all times. Imagine a warrior with healing seed, back when it was 25 mana. Actually, it came in handy sometimes back when henchies didn't heal essential NPCs.
Although, I always seemed to think mending wamos and full tanks were retards (extremely common at the time). So I could have been a noobier wamo, of which I'm proud. :P

A ele in Beacons was spamming "Running to forge 500g here and 500g there!"
She died in like 30 seconds then left.

capped [skill]Melandru's Resilience[/skill] and brought it around thinking it was actually worth something. Turns out, it was a waste of a skill slot in [late '05 - early '06] for PvE. Who would have known?
I did use it in running though. It was helpful there :]
