post here your stupidest thing you've ever done in guild wars (can be more of them)

so i got this idea because yesterday i was showing a friend of mine all my ectos i collected in a while ( 180 of them ) and that i had enough to buy my obsidian armor for my elementalist. i was on a pvp character and to show them i had to store the ectos in my inventory, so i did... showed them and did some more alliance battles. after playing some battles i was bored and made a new character . since i only have 1 slot for my pvp characters i create/delete them the whole time. this time however i deleted my character who still had the ectos in his inventory (dunno how, but i forgot to putt them back on my storage). didnt realised i made such a painfull mistake untill i did another run with my warrior/mesmer (UW farmer) had 2 ectos that run, and stored them on my storage. surprisingly all my ectos were gone. i checked my current pvp character but it was all too late...

Earned 200k from farming Easter items on one day, then blew 150k on Coffers and Z keys before the Zaishen title came out...

The Stupidest Thing I probably ever done was give away 100k to my friend....

- But than 2 days later I got a whisper from him saying he will pay me back and he actually did! so I never actually did anything stupid and I never got scammed!

where to start ;S...

first big mistake was putting a sup absorb on non-max armor back when they were 100k and you couldn't choose what you could salvage from an item ~ i salvaged common materials

probably the most stupid thing was buying 2 friends fow armor, one who i'd only known for a month or so and he quit soon after the other sold his account...

Also salvaged a freinds warrior fow armor and got 0 ecto 0 shard out of it, he told me he quit playing but starting playing again soon after i salvaged and knew it was me because i was the only other person who has the pw to that account :S

Also done stupid things like merch ecto and expensive items which i kept in inventory before they implemented a warning when you tried to sell equipped items D:<

After a week or so of having the game (started right when Factions came out) I was selling a q9 15^50 Flamberge (with 20/20 and +30) for 80k. Someone said he'd give me 100k for it, and in my hasty greed I got 100g for my item ^^

^ Deserved it 100%

First things first; money has always been tight for me. Now one day, me and my friends were all talking about my other friend who was particularly proud of his warrior "Dragonlord xxxx" So we all decided to make our own Dragonlords, which we did. I promptly had mine run to Droks, bought him elite plate mail, and watch him collect dust as I played my other characters. Waste of money...

Deleted a bunch of elite armors off of multiple characters for space issues. Still regret that. Not that I play multiple characters anymore due to titles, and not that I'd have a place to put them if I still had them (where is my Armor NPC Anet?!).

I'm sure I have other stupid things I have done. I have conveniently forgotten a few things.

Oh my, some of those stories suck. I feel so sorry for you guys. lol

Back when you had to get gems to get access to Razah, I was told I could buy one for 100k. In an effort to make the money, I sold two elite armor sets that I currently had hoping to get some of the money back. All I got out of two sets was 400g. And to top it off, they later removed the gemstones and though I got them back all I got out of it was four Margonite gemstones.

And when I went to buy elite Sunspear armor, I bought leather squares instead of Elonian leather so I had to resell and buy.

This is gunna hurt me..

Minipets. I had a yeti in pre that I had for a long time. They were starting to get real low in post and it was hard to sell it..So I was taking any offer that pple threw at me..Sold it for 300k post..few months later look at how much yetis are now.

Ectos. Had over 2000 at a time and I blew most of them on a max sweet tooth title in pre, and just look at where ectos are at now. (wish i still had them to buy zkeys and crap)

Party Points. I had over 5000+ points in post (before the title) from a recent Halloween event. They sat in storage for a good month then I just sold them because I had no use, then title came out. AND I heard that during the goodbye gaile event they were double pts..I was in a mental hospital.. /rage

Zkeys. Used over 300+ for a video that was put on youtube..then the title came out.

Yea I cant think of anymore times ive done stupid crap.

Im surprised I still play this game :P

Also-MMSDome that's pretty epic. Might want to censor some of the more juicier words so it doesn't get deleted by an overzealous mod though.

I have been playing GW for 2 yrs 9 months now. That is alot of time to build a stupidity resume. I was such a noob I dont even know what stupid things I did for the 8 months prior to Factions coming out. But, I made my wife rush out and buy it because I loved GW. I wanted my wife to start playing the game too... we have 2 computers in our office. So, I decided to NOT LINK the accounts so my wifey could play with me.

**She logged in that first day and played a total of 30 minutes, logged off and never played again.

A few weeks later playing my unlinked 2nd Warrior I was on Raisu Palace mission and got a Gold Req 8 Vertebreaker 15^50 +30 health. I thought that would be the perfect weapon to use forever so I customized it. Probably cost me 500K or more when I had less than 25k in the bank. Darn Sword is still in my inventory! Hee Hee.

- Merched a couple items I shouldn't have, like a 14% unconditional bow when I was a noob ("it's bugged, no one will want this!"), and to a lesser extent, weapons I used and had to buy again like my celestial bow, legendary sword...

- Gave a few stacks of champagne poppers and other party items about a week before the title came out. The guy, a friend of mine, also used them right before.

2nd Day of GW, I was in pre-searing didn't know about skill list so when my skills got replaced with others I was like "I lost the other skills!" and so I delete the char, remade another and hit the L button by accident, "Oh I never lost them there's a skill list".

Another funny one is finding 2 gold req7's with 13% stance and the other 13% while enchanted....since the bonus damage wasn't 15% I merched both of them. Fun Days xD

I gave away a few greens I thought I'd never use to make some room in storage

Also sold a few dyes by accident when I was selling things too quickly to the merchant

Seeing as you joined this forum a year and a half ago, and have probably been playing the game at least 2 years, I would have to really doubt you remember this, especially if you merched it. I couldn't tell you what gold weapons I merched yesterday, much less 18 months ago.

So, screenshots or it didn't happen.

Didn't want to make a new thread for this, and it's not really self ownage on my part -- just had the weekend for double hero battles, which is the only time I ever do it. Lots of people ask to roll and I always say nty, then either they leave, or we play and mostly I win, but sometimes I get owned. Which is fine too, I know a lot of people tank their rank to play at a lower level and I'm not super great at it, just slightly better than average.

So one particular match, they guy wants to roll, I say nty, the game is just about to start. He says 'just so you know, I was rank 100 before I tanked so prepare to get rolled' We start to play. After a couple minutes I had the npc and battle shrine capped, he had the center and mending shrine, I take the center, less than 5 minutes go by the score is 14-3 or so in my favor. Not a minute later I owned all the shrines and just finished killing his monk, and he says 'lawl sh-t I forgot I should be tanking my rank not fighting' then he resigns. I get the 'flawless victory' message. I said something like 'man you suck for rank 100' So then he starts whisping me saying he's r11 hero r7 champion r8 gladiator r5 commander and all this crap. I mean, I understand trying to psych someone out before a match and all, but he pwned himself with no way to back up his trash talking. Nobody in the game has that kind of ranks in every pvp.

I merched a -50hp cesta. (Hm, -50 hp? who the hell would ever use that? >> merch. Nope, I had never heared of a 55hp invincimonk.)
