Deleted my (first character) Necromancer, who finished all 3 campaigns, Elite Kurzick, had 93k on her etc. I thought she was my PvP Necromancer...

I never played a Necromancer ever since.

Exploiting every corpse I could using putrid explosion and bone horrors on my R/N (with no points in any Necro attribute) and wondering why all the Necro's I would party with got annoyed at me.
I once paid 9k for a non max white Stormbow (which I sold for 9k again a couple of weeks later )
Wondering why the text on white and blue weapons didn't change to purple when I dyed then that colour

Dumbest thing I've done is probably running around with heal area on my bar(I'm a warrior). Mostly tanking in SF, I kept wondering how those dwarves managed to live that long until someone told me I was the fool keeping them alive

When I first arrived at Yak's Bend with my warrior.
They just introduced the whole Balthazar Factions thing (2 factions per kill, woho), so I went for some PvP in the lev 15 arena.
A couple hours later I ended with 700 factions, thinking it was something really impressive. I was like "I'm gonna unlock so many things with all these points".

Not so excited anymore when I checked the priest, finding that 1000 faction points was the minimum to buy anything.

i have done loads of noobish stuff, but you learn from your mistakes.

stuff like making a w/n and then dying at the necro mission in pre becuase you werent paying attention and the flame grizler things set off.

making a derv/ele for nightfall.... and setting it to sf nuker.

getting conned so blatently at times. like selling a storm bow for 45g instead of 45k

selling black dye to merchant

salvaging rare materials

deleting a failed survivor char in rage then realised i forgot to remove all her stuff and hero stuff (cost me about 300k that mistake!)

selling high end weapons for low end prices, i still do that now as its so hard to sell anything mediocre now ingame.

I've had bad luck with Black Dye (and this is back when it was actually worth something)

Selling my first Black Dye drop to a merchant (what do you mean it's worth over 10k??)

Much later, got scammed selling 4 black dye (the old "Plat to Gold" switch, with me hitting accept too eagerly)

Dumbest thing I've done skill wise: I kept casting Illusionary Weakness on my high-death penalty Mesmer, and couldn't figure out why she was dying!

Everything I do is the dumbest thing I do.
I just get progressively worse.
So umm, I'd say Trying to sell ecto for 8k each.

Fortunately someone bought it >.>

I was pretty noob >.<
1) I was scared of going outside pre-sear ascalon because i thought the wurms would kill me.
2) Sold black dye/ecto to the merch.
3) Making a wamo -_- (12 swords, 9 smite, 9 heal)
4) trying to sell a 4-6 dmg sword in post-sear ascalon
5) thinking pre-sear was the whole game, imagine how surprised i was when i got to post sear

That's about all I can remember for now...

I was a good n00b and read the first GW manuscripts before playing: "Need one more player in your party? Hire a henchman" (106). I didn't use hench for a week b/c I thought I'd have to pay for them to join me.

I rage-turned-off my PC the first time I died because I thought I would be crap compared to everyone else because I had -15% health and energy.

AWWWW I adore myself!!

Lol, when I first started playing, I thought the highest position one could attain in Guild Wars was officer in a guild.
