I just did it, and thought we all have a story to share for a laugh.
You were at a place and did some eternally stupid and say W t f [go red yellow and green engine] did i just do?

I was standing in lions and some newbie was spamming local WTB iboga petals. Several ppl told him off and sad I will report if you keep spamming.
I wanted to be nice and lectured him that they drop in NF and adviced him to go to Kamadan instead. I repeated that, hoping to direct the newb to the right place.

and then I realised I was in Kamadan, not Lions

after being away on spring break, i check the updates.

it took me until "mesmer: no updates" to realize it was the april fool's joke.

im not sure if i should be /facepalming or if izzy should be /facepalming for all the fail updates hes made in the past, and the fact i wasnt even surprised at some of the skills... -_-

today i tried to go up against a wastrel's collapse sin with my warrior, without remembering that i don't have healing signet, nor anything that i can endlessly spam to ensure the conditional on his wastrel's collapse never triggers.

Anytime I see someone "LFR" for an insanely easy quest in Normal Mode. It's sad how many of these I see every day. Not wanting to repeat or attempt incredibly difficult dungeons in HM, fine, but a NM quest? You should probably /uninstall, but since you don't, I'm left with /facepalm.

When I saw the april fools update. And the change to Spawning Power. And realized that ArenaNet considers balancing Spawning Power to be a joke.

Posting in this thread... /facepalm.


No, just kidding.
Well, I'm a bit skeptical about this coming update, so I decided to make an extra character just for temporary storage, just in case ANet somehow messes up with the storage modifications.
Anyways, I made the character, put all of the items/money on him that were previously in my account storage, then logged off to eat dinner. When I came back, I logged back on, and deleted that character. >.<
There goes my Tormented Shield, Ancient Armor, supply of about about 500 party points, and about 40k.

Was h/h-ing Arachni's Haunt HM and was in the first/second chamber where you need to burn the webs to get to the next area. I ran around for a good 10 minutes killing all these foes I didnt need to, trying to find the Flaming Brazier to light the Asura Flame Staff...then I realised that the Staff is already lit -.-

Recently, I just completed the Elite SkillHunter titles (last night, actually). I can't tell you how many times I've ran out to go cap an elite skill, get to the boss, kill him, then try to cap, only to realize I forgot to change my secondary!

Running gimmicky PS sin in RA, well since it's Random and I had TERRIBLE luck that day 11 games with no monks on my team, all but 1 had a half competent monk on theirs. No rits either. In about 8 of the matches I had an ally running either melee fire ele, "tank" warrior, or ranger spamming dshot on recharge. I don't think he interrupted a single thing.
And the economy thread of course, but that's just a massive troll. I can't believe so many ppl fed it. /facepalm

Running a WE hammer build and bringing shield bash, then wondering why I was getting my arse handed to me by a BB sin repeatedly. What a glorious moment it was for me to discover I didn't have a shield.

A little joke in my Guild was "LFG for A Meeting With the Emperor". The quest literally is just walking up to the Emperor, talking to him, then going back for your reward.

Edit: This is the opposite of recent, in fact it was probably my first facepalm while playing Guild Wars.

So here is my story:

I was trying to get the mods off of my chaos gloves because I needed them for another set of gloves that I just bought. So, without really looking, I clicked on a salvage kit and started getting the mods off of the gloves. Unfortunately though I didn't notice that it wasn't a perfect salvage kit I was using. There went 75 ecto and all I got in return was 21 glittering dust.

Then you need better reading comprehension. Only thing you have to pay for you aren't even being forced to pay for.. it's just an option. No ones forcing you to get my storage.

True! But actually, even worse, they removed the ability to tame them elsewhere than in Nightfall.

I was in Kamadan talking to a friend. After he went afk I decided to sell my crystalline sword. It took me almost 2 hours of spamming to realize that I was actually pm'ing my friend that whole time...

No kidding. I know I should be used to it by now, but I'm still frequently amazed by the sheer amount of petulant whiny children that this game (and this site) seem to attract.

I was standing in Kamadan and some newbie was spamming local with "WTB iboga petals". Several people told him off and said they would report him if he kept spamming. Then some guy started going at him, telling him where they dropped and to go to Kamadan to sell them. He even said it again. I wonder if he ever realized he was in Kamadan.
