deleting all my account with mutliple lvl 20s with multiple 15k armors each..and a few 100k's in stash.

back in 2005, when the game was released..i never paid attention to skill descriptions..so 2 weeks after the release i made a warrior..and got him to lvl 20...but then i was like " why the hell do i keep dying so much..i have armor and all...at the same time i put my cursor over my first skill and read" Frenzy: increases attack speed by 33% but take double damage"....then i was like ¬_¬ ....(\\_') /wrist <-- true story..not the /wrist part lol.

lol gwmaster, there are still players out there who haven't realized that yet.

for me, getting to yak's bend before realizing that there were different levels of armor. i just kept seeing the same names in the armor crafter's list and assumed they were all the same. then i understood why i died so much >_>

I'm pretty careful about trades and picking up items I don't want to lose. I guess my only mistakes have been accidentally merching armor and dye, and deleting my oldest character because I wanted to change her hair. What's even worse is that I think I gave her exactly the same hair when I remade her. D:

Getting hacked and losing all my ectos/money.

For some reason, they never noticed my Tormented Sword, so I was able to sell that to get up to almost 200K.

Three years ago when I started GW I thought that Professions only were used to choose your Characters look, so I took a Ranger and played him as a Warrior, then as Ele, the really emberresing thing is that I continued like that for about six months.

I'm betting he was selling at 5k each, someone put 5g into trade instead of 5k, and he accepted.

I think I did that right... Btw, I'm kinda noobish, don;t laugh at my stuff. Just thought it was funny because that other person mentioned someone similar.

Edit - Its, uh.. too small to read. Lol. I guess I screwed up with the picture..

or killing the boss, trying to use the signet, then noticing you haven't changed secondary profession to that of the boss in question. *sigh*

My main was originally a necromancer and now I actually play my PvP Necromancer quite a lot and regret deleting it as I could have had so much fun. I forget when I deleted it but was way before Factions.

I had a warrior where I could keep putting runes on the helmet and put about 6 major vigor runes on it. idk if it was known and got fixed but I deleted it while I still had those 6 runes on the helmet and didn't take a screenshot of it or I did but deleted it.


I bought 1 piece of 15K armor for my monk and never bought the rest of it which I then salvaged months later.

This, in my experience, tends to be far more of a problem than forgetting a cap sig >.>

When I first started playing I started farming spiderlegs and unnatural seeds to sell in pre.

I thought that you had to specify how much you wanted for items you sold by putting that price in the plat or gold section of the trade window, so I was basically giving those I traded with their items as well as gold, when we made a trade.

It took me about 4 trades before I realized I wasn't making any money.

Probably deleting my old necro. He'd have been 45 months old now. Missed out on all that free money (mini-pets). I made a Paragon, but just couldn't get into the game after that.

After that would be giving away all my ecto/armbraces/gold/gear/high-end minis (3x panda etc) because I got bored of GW.

Biggest trade mistake - Prob selling the magazine minis for 20k each. After that was prob not buying another panda for the extremely cheap price of 5k ecto. Was too much effort to log onto one of my ecto mules at the time.

I'd be truely minted now if I still had all my stuff. So many trade nubs spending stupid amounts of cash on crap.

My Assassin still doesn't have Shadow Form, even though I've done Dragon's Throat dozens of times. Because every single time, I remember once I get to that boss that I forgot to grab a signet of capture.

Also yesterday I went to Ember Light Camp from Ascalon, went out into Perdition Rock, and wondered why I was getting my ass kicked so badly. Then I noticed that I forgot to grab some henchies. Oops.

I had just gotten an elite set for my monk (cannot remember what it was, think it was 15k luxon). Now at the time it was my first 15k set. I was still wearing the 45 armor set u can get from seitung harbour. So i thought I'd trash it little did I know that I trashed the elite set I had just made

... nothing you can do in a situation like that other than laugh

I was stuck on that second to last mission in NF, it was late at night and i was annoyed that I couldn't do it. So I hired a runner, first time ive ever needed a runner so I thought it was normal to pay people upfront, this particular run cost 10k and that seemed reasonable to me at the time, the mission was quite hard. After I gave him my 10k he left, me being such a trusting person thought he simply DCd, so I asked him if I could have my run since he just DCd or my money back if his lag was too bad. He told me that he was trying to trade with me but it wouldn't let him so i believed him and told him not to worry about it we can do it 2morow. I then went to sleep and as I was lying in bed it dawned on me what really happened /facepalm.

Last but not least trying to cap a skill, then finding out I dont have a cap sig, then when i come back a second time I cap the wrong skill off the monster's bar

edit: Remembered another one, I was infusing for GvG and was wondering why my healing spells were so weak. I had loaded the prot bar and changed the skills, but not the attributes ><

Deleting all my characters (including materials, multiple armor sets, all my rare weps and over 400k in gold) as i was "quitting guildwars" as i was becoming some what of an addict. Now ive decided to take it up again and have nothing left

even though in the end it means nothing, i did put in a considerable amount of time into my characters (over 4k hours)

Some of these stories, OUCH. I think the worst thing I do is just forget to clean inventory before going places... I guess this is the good side to not having motivation to farm or earn stuff lol. Less to lose.
